WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person 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 threewire extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a
three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
