InStRuctIonS
This appliance must be connected to
a grounded wiring system. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a safe path of least resistance
for electrical current, reducing the risk of
electrical shock. The cord for this appli-
ance has an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug. It must only
be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARnIng:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you aren’t
sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. This
appliance is designed for use on a nomi-
nal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding
attachment plug that looks like the plug in
the drawing above. Make certain that the
appliance is connected to an outlet hav-
ing the same configuration as the plug.
No plug adapter should be used with this
appliance.
This model is for household use only.
