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

is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. If a longcord set or extension
cord is used:
1)The marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extensioncord
should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the
appliance.
2)The extensioncord must be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3)The longcord 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.
