appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz
or any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.
Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a
short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation

cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
