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, useonly 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.
