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 elec-

tric current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a ground-

ingwirewithagroundingplug.Theplugmustbeplugged

into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman if the

the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

EN - 9

2. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

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
