This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring
system. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current,
reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord of this
appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
ground plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
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
a 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.
