GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the
grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
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 serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded, and if it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and either
1) A 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The
marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance, or
2) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under
any circumstances.
