in the event of an electrical short cir-

electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appli-

grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded. Consult a
qualified electrician or service center if
the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood. If doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded, have a qualified electrician
check the circuit to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Do not, under any circumstances,
cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.
