by or near children.

or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.

• Do not run appliance over cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
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.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment­grounding 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.
