Grounding Installation

DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the
internal components can
cause serious personal
injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard Improper
use of the grounding can
result in electric shock.
Do not plug into an outlet
until appliance is properly
installed and grounded.
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 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 serviceman
if the grounding instructions
are not completely
understood or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only
a 3-wire extension cord.
1. A short power-supply cord
is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. If a long cord set or extension
cord is used:
1)The marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the
appliance.
2)The extension cord must be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3)The long cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop
where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
