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 electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
•Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
•Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Wiring Requirements
•This appliance must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP 110-120 VOLT, 60 HZ GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is |

responsibility and obligation of the |
X |
consumer to have it replaced with a |
|
properly grounded three-prong outlet. |
Extension Cords:
We do not recommend that you use an extension cord.
