WARNING!

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grtmnded, h/the e_ent of ml elet trical
short circuit, gTtmnding reduces the risk of electric shock by

1)ro_iding an escape wire lor tile electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord hming a grounding
wire with a groui_ding i)lug. The plug must t)e plugged into an

omlet that is ln:oi)erl} instalk d mid gTom/ded.

Consuh a qualifi_ d elecn'ician or s_trice technician if the g_'omlding

Because of t)olemial sat(qv
hazards under certain con(lid(ms,

we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug. I to_e\ er,

available at most local hardwm:e stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the x_ll receptacle to l)tx_vide t)tX)l)er t)olm-ity in the c(mnection
of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle
