WARNING!
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
This applim3ce must be grounded. In fl_e event of m3 electrical
short drcuit, grounding reduces the risk ofelectric shock by
providing m_ escape wire f_r the electric ctlrrent
This applim_ce is equipped with a power cord having a grounding
wire wifl_ a grounding pMg. The plug must be pMgged into an
outlet that is properly installed m_d grounded.
Constdt a qualified elec/ridan or service/echnidan if tile
grounding instructions are not comple/ely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whe/her/he appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a s/m_&_rd 2-prong wall oufle/, it is your personal
responsibili b' m_d obligation m have it replaced with a properly
gromKted 3-prong wall outlet
Do no/under m_y drcumstmKcs cut or remove tile third (ground)
prong fl'om tile power cord.
We do no/recommend using m_extension cord *_4/hthis applimKe.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified elec/rkim or service
technician ins/all an outlet near tile applimKe. (See WARNING--
EXTENSIONCORDSsecd{,n.)
For best openttion, plug tl_isapplim_ce into its own elec/rical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fhse or tripping
of drcuit breaker.

ADAPTERPLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will he disconnected
infrequently
Because of potential sate W
hazaMs under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug. H_)we_x;
ifyou still elect to use ml adapte_,
where locM codes permit,
aTEMPORARY CONNECTION may"
be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of
a UL lismd adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.
METHOD beforeuse,
The lm%er slot in the adapter must be Mig'ned with the lm%'er slot
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polmitv in the connection
of the power cord.
r, ^t,,UTION:A aehingthe adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring.
_k)u shouM have the drcMt checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the adaptor, always hold
the adaptor with one hand. If this is not done, the adaptor ground
mrminal is veW likely to break with repeamd use. Should this
happen, DONOTUSEthe appliance until a proper ground k_s
agMn been established.
Usagesituationswhereappliance'spower cordwill be disconnected
frequently.
Donotusean adapterplugin these situations because fl'equent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adaptor and leads m eventual fidlure of the adaptor ground
mrndnal. You shoMd N_vc the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualilied electrician
bell)re using the appliance.
