This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged ground-
ed plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not
have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to
exchange the existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and ap-
plicable local codes and ordinances. The third ground prong should not, under any circum-
stances, be cut or removed. Never use the cord, the plug or the appliance when they show
any sign of damage. Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been
checked and tested by a qualified electrician or electrical supplier. Improper connection of
the grounding plug can result in risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons associat-
ed with the appliance. Check with a qualified service representative if in doubt that the appli-
ance is properly grounded.

Ce produit arrive d’origine avec un cordon d’alimentation équipé d’une prise à trois fiches. Il
doit être branché dans une prise avec une fiche de mise à la terre en conformité avec le Code
national de l’électricité et les codes et règles locaux applicables. Si la prise murale n’a pas de
mise à la terre, il est de la responsabilité et l’obligation du client de changer la prise existante
pour la rendre conforme au Code national de l’électricité et aux codes et règles locaux
applicables. La fiche de mise à la terre ne doit pas, en aucune circonstance, être coupée ou
retirée. Si vous apercevez des signes de dommage, n’utilisez jamais le cordon d’alimentation,
la prise ou l’appareil. N’utilisez jamais l’appareil avec une rallonge sauf si elle a été vérifiée
et testée par un électricien qualifié ou un fournisseur de matériel électrique. Une fiche de
mise à la terre mal branchée peut entraîner un risque d’incendie, de choc électrique ou de
blessures aux personnes qui utilisent l’appareil. Si vous n’êtes pas certain que l’appareil est
correctement mis à la terre, consultez un préposé du service qualifié.
