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 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 120volt 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.
