Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a separate fuse cir-
cuit from the meter panel. This will help to eliminate current fl uctuation which might cause motor trouble.
