PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients
with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric
current.
Thisapplianceisequippedwithapowercordhavinga
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consultaqualifiedelectricianorservicetechnicianif
the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer
cord. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If
thepowercordistooshort,haveaqualifiedelectricianor
service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
Forbestoperation,plugthisapplianceintoitsown
electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of
fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
