INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The power
supply cord must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug on the
power supply cord. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed.
