GROUNDING
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 appliance has an
equipment-grounding conductor 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 nominal 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 having the same
configuration as the plug. No plug adapter
should be used with this appliance.
This model is for household use only.
