IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resis­tance for electrical shock. This machine 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 in accordance with
all local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin;
if missing, replace plug before use.

Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conduc-

tor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check

with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in

doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If

the plug will not t in the outlet do not modify either the

plug nor the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet

installed by a qualied technician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and
with a grounding plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below.

If a proper outlet is not available, follow the illustrations of

Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary-grounding plug. This
temporary work-around should be used only until a proper
outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied electrician.
When and if this type of adapter is employed, screw the

adapter’s extended tab into place with a metal screw.

However, grounding adapters are not approved for use in

Canada.

Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages
and replace if necessary.

The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is the
grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be

attached to only the grounding pin.

Parts and Service

authorized Service Center using Mytee original replace­ment parts and accessories for repairs are needing to be
