GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinance.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet 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. This appliance is for use on a
nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1
below.
