To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons
Grounding Installation

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard
T ouching some of the internal
components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding
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. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.

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.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.

3. If a long cord sets or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.

2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
