GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short‑circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing apath of low resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grouding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in compliance with all local codes and ordinances. Improper use of the grounded. In the event of an electrical short‑circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock.Check with a qualified electrician or service personnal if you are in doubt DANGER as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not conect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. This appliance is for use on a nominal, 120‑volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A of Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in skeches B and C of Figure 1, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in sketch B of Figure 1 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only a properly grounded outlet(sketch A of Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw. This appliance is for used on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120‑volt and is factry equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance. Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If the appliance must be reconectted for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconection should be made by qualified service personnel. If it necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three‑wire extension cord that has a three‑blade grounding and three‑slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
