This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be in-
serted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.

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 out-
let 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 electri-
cian.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit and has a grounding at-
tachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketchpicture A. Make
sure that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configura-
tion as the plug. No adaptor should be
used with this appliance.
