GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded
wiring system. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least
resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk
of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has
an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug. It
must only be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
