This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance —
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (C46310-00 Only)
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
