GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
The plug must be inserted into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly in-
stalled and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly ground-
ed.
Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
