A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the ris resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords
are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord is used;
1) The mar ed electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type-3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug,
the extension cord should also be a grounding-type-3-wire cord.
GROUNDING IN TRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shoc .
The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit
the proper grounding-type receptacle.
GROUNDING IN TRUCTION – U ONLY
The appliance has a plug that loo s li e Figure A. An adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should be
used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-ground receptacle. The grounding tab,
which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box as shown in Figure C, using a metal screw.
