installed and grounded.
WA R N IN G-Improper
use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended, but if it is absolutely necessary
to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Where an electrical wall receptacle is encountered which will accept only a
two-prong plug, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the owner to
contact a qualified electrician and have the outlet replaced with a properly
grounded and polarized receptacle for a three-prong, grounding plug. Such
receptacle must also meet local electrical codes, if applicable, and/or the
National Electrical Code.
Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance
IMPORTANT
The above grounding instructions must be followed not only for your
personal protection against shock and fire hazards, but also to insure
satisfactory operation of the electronic controls. In addition to proper
grounding, a polarity check of outlet should be made to insure that
polarity is not reversed. Improper grounding or reversed polarity can
damage the electronic control or cause it to operate erratically.
