Explanation
Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be
neutral and the small slot must be hot (live).
Mispolarized–The outlet is miswired so that the larger
slot is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral.
Grounded–This means the round hole connection is con-
nected to earth ground through a connection to the main
power panel.
Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not complete
to earth ground and/or the main power panel.

This equipment 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 unit is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The

installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if

grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install
a three-slot receptacle. This unit should be plugged
into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating
as shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate
with a 120 supply voltage.
