GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring
system. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for
electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock.
The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Grounding Pin
WARNING:
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a quali-
fied electrician or service person if you aren't
sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT
MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is designed for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug in the drawing above.
Make certain that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No plug adapter should be used with this
appliance.
