Grounding
Pin
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed
for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make certain that the
appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
wiring system. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least
resistance for electrical current, reducing the
risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
