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 existsas 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 S-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 servicetechnician
install an outlet near the appliance. (SeeWARNING--EXTENSION CORDS
section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to
prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuses or tripping of circuit breakers.
