GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electri-
cal short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding can result in a
risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or ser-
viceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
