A WARN I N .se
of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
This appliance must be grotmded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grotmding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire fl)r the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded, (Fig. 1)
Fig, 1 PREFERRED METHOD
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grotmding inst_ uctions are not
completely tmderstood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encotmtered, it is yore" personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grotmded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
_'e do not recommend using an extension
cord with this appliance. If the power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or
service technician install an outlet near the
appliance. (See the Extension Cords section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker,
