GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly

receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOTcut off
