Animproperly grounded appliance

can resultin electric shock. Do
not plug into anoutlet until

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.
