GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING-
improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
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 power cord 
which contains a 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 service 
technician if the grounding instructions are 
not completely understood, or if doubt 
exists as to whether the appliance is 
properly grounded. 
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your 
personal responsibility and obligation to have it 
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. 
 
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the 
third (ground) prong from the power cord. 
 
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance. 
 
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If 
the power cord is too short, have a qualified 
electrician or service technician install an outlet near 
the appliance. 
 
For best operation, plug the appliance into its own 
electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit to prevent 
flickering of lights, blowing of fuse, or tripping of circuit 
breaker.
