Important safety

information

This appliance is equipped with a three-

prong grounding plug for your protection

against possible electrical shock hazards.

It must be plugged into a grounding

receptacle. Where a standard two-prong-

wall receptacle is encountered, it is the

personal responsibility and obligation of

the customer to have it replaced with a

properly grounded three-prong wall

receptacle. Do not under any circum-

stances, cut or remove the third (ground)

prong from the power cord. Do not use an

adapter plug.
