Grounding Installation
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the
internal components can
cause serious personal
injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the
grounding can result in
electric shock.
Do not plug into an outlet
until appliance is properly
installed and grounded.
This appliance must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for
the electric current.
This appliance is equipped
with a cord having
a 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 serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood or if doubtexists
as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only
a 3-wire
1. A short power-supply cord
is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. 2. If a long cord
set or extension cord isused:
1) The marked electrical
rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
2) The extension cord must
be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord.
3) The long cord should be
arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
