GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong
plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates
the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with
another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power
cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded
(two prongs) adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to
avoid hazard.
