Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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.
DANGER
- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
