Grounding
Instructions
This appliance
must be
grounded.
In
the
event
of
an
electrical
short
circuit,
grounding reduces
the
risk
of electric
shock
by
providing
an escape
wire
for
the
electric
current.
This appliance
is
equipped
with
a
cord having
a
grounding
wire with
a
ground-
ing plug.
The
plug
must be
plugged
into
an
outlet
that
is
properly
installed
and
grounded.
WARNING-,_
use
of
the
grounding
plug
can
result
in
a
risk
of
electric
shock.
Consult
a
qualified electrician
or service
person
if
the grounding
instructions
are not completely
understood,
or
if
doubt
exists
as
to
whether
the
appliance
is
property
grounded.
If it
is
necessary
to
use an
extension
cord,
use
only
a
three wire
extension cord
that
has a
three
blade grounding
plug,
and
a
three
slot
receptacle
that
will
accept
the plug
on
the appliance.
The
marked
rating
of
the extension cord
should
be
equal
to.
or
greater
than
the
electrical rating of
the appliance.
Power
Supply
1
.
A
short
power-supply cord
is
provided
to
reduce
the
risks resulting
from
becoming
entangled
in
or
tripping
over
a
longer
cord.
2.
Longer
cord
sets or
extension cords are
avail-
able
and
may
be used
if
care
is
exercised
in
their
use.
3.
If
a
long
cord
or
extension cord
is
used,
(1)
the
marked
electrical rating of
the
cord
set
or exten-
sion
cord should
be
at least
as
great
as
the
electrical rating of
the appliance,
(2)
the exten-
sion
cord
must be a
grounding-type 3-wire
cord,
and
(3)
the longer cord
should
be
arranged so
that
it
will
not
drape over
the
counter top
or
tabletop
where
it
can be
pulled
on by
children
or
tripped
over
accidentally.
