Grounding Instructions
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
containing a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
• Improper use of the plug may result in the risk of electric shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from
the power cord.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service center if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the appliance has been
properly grounded.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use
only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a
3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
Power Interruptions
• Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or
other causes. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug the power cord
into the AC outlet.
