GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance — if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Sketch A. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
