providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. Insert the plug into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING
if you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.
Ask a qualified electrician or the Sears Service Department if
you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are
not certain whether the appliance is properly grounded.
if you use an extension cord, be sure that:
• The extension cord has the same electrical rating as
the appliance.
• The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk
of anyone tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. You
may use an extension cord if you are careful.
• The extension cord does not drape over a countertop or
tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over accidentally.
