WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard
An improperly grounded appliance

can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until

appliance is properly installed
and grounded,

Three-pronged

(grounding) plug

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. To protect against electrical shock,

this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3-
prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper

grounding-type receptacle. DO NOT alter the plug

for use in a 2-prong receptacle. If the plug will not fit

into a receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed

by a qualified electrician.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely 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 that
has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot

receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall be

equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
