SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance –
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
