GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
~
WARNING - Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
may result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance - if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

visible damage.

data plate (fusing, voltage and
frequency) match the mains electrical
supply. If in doubt contact an
