A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape route for the electric current.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not,
under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord plug.
The consumer should have it checked by a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility and
obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three- prong wall receptacle.
a) If customer has two-prong wall receptacle, he should replace it with a three-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance.
