GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician, or
service representative or personnel, if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT modify
the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
