GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Thisappliancemustbegrounded.Intheeventofmal-
function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistence for
electriccurrent.Thisapplianceisequippedwithacordha-
ving an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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.
WARNING-Improperconnectionoftheequipment-groun-
dingconductorcanresultinaelectricshock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the applian-
ceisproperlygounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will
not fit outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
