GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
— Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or Sears Service Department if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be
a grounding-type 3 wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The
electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched or crushed in any way.
PROPERLY POLARIZED AND
