G
rounding Method
Ground wire should be connected.
If the ground wire is not connected, there is possible a danger of electric shock caused by
the current leakage.
Grounding Method with Ground insert space Terminal
If the AC current outlet has a ground terminal, then
separate grounding is not required. Note that AC power
outlet configurations may differ from country to country.
Caution
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers
only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's
manual to be certain. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or
mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
Other Grounding Method
Burying Copper Plate
Connect the Ground Wire to a Ground Copper Plate
and bury it more than 75 cm in the ground.
Using a Short Circuit Breaker
If grounding methods described above are not
possible, a separate circuit breaker should be
employed and installed by a qualified electrician.
Caution
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not connect ground to a gas pipe.
• Do not connect ground to telephone wires or lightning rods. This may be dangerous during electrical
storms.
• Connecting ground to plastic has no effect.
• Ground wires should be connected when an extension cord is used.
