Electrical Safety
• (120 Volt models) Your machine is designed to
operate using 120 Volt A. C. 60 Hz. electrical current
.
It
is supplied with a three-prong power plug which
should be used with a properly grounded three-pron
g
outlet o
nly. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying or using with non-grounded outlets!
•
To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose
or operate machine in damp or wet locations.
• Electrical problems should be referred to qualified
repair technicians. If the machine is under warranty,
contact KABA ILCO at the address printed on the
cover. (KABA ILCO also offers repair service for out-

Grounding Instructions
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a machine outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
•
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualifie
d
electri
cian.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation that has a green outer
surface (with or without yellow stripes) is the
eq
uipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal.
•
Check with a qualified electrician or service personn
el
if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machin
