GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This appliance must be electrically 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.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If a ground fault circuit breaker is used, ensure it
has this symbol:

Only this symbol can assure compliance with all
current regulations.
