WARNING.
Electric Shock Hazard. Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary
to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
