Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
• A 120-Volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-
ampere fused electrical supply is required.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. Be sure fuse or circuit
breaker matches the rating of your line.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The power supply cord
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
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed.
