The cord for this appliance has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.
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 Instructions for directions on the cord.
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in
If it is extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade 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.
Ensure proper ground exists before use
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
