SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
We do not recommend using 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.
(See EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights,
blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
WARNING!
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord
will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded wall receptacle
by the use of a UL listed adapter which is
available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle
is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal
is very likely to break with repeated use. Should
this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord
will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because frequent disconnection of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall
receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using
the appliance.
Ensure proper
ground and firm
connection before
use.
