GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The ThermaCube charger must be properly grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the electric current. The ThermaCube charger
has a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug, which must be used in a compatible and properly
grounded outlet. It is the owner’s responsibility to replace any 2-prong wall outlet with a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.

For your safety, never cut, remove, or disable the electrical (ground) connection from the plug. Never use an
adapter plug or an extension cord with the ThermaCube charger.

WARNING: Electric shock can result from an improperly grounded plug. Please consult a
qualified electrician if you have any questions about these grounding instructions.

POWER CORD REPLACEMENT

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly
qualified person.

Please make sure that the power cord is firmly attached to your CookTek unit BEFORE plugging the unit
into the power receptacle and attempting operation.
