GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal
components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding
can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until
appliance is properly installed
and grounded.
Three-pronged (grounding) plug
English-4
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having grounding wire with a
grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or greater than
the electrical rating of the appliance.
1.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
3. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extention cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
