Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electri­cal current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this
appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided with appliance.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a
grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
