electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electri-
cian or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the ap-
pliance-if it will not fit the outlet, have a prop-
er outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
sketchpicture A. Make sure that the
appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with this appliance.

Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut
entraîner un risque de choc électrique. Con-
sulter un électricien ou un technicien d'entre-
tien qualifié si vous n'êtes pas certain que la
prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne
pas modifier la fiche fournie avec l'appareil -
si elle ne peut être insérée dans la prise, fair
installer une prise adéquate par un élec-
tricien qualifié.
Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120
V et est muni d'une fiche de mise à la terre
semblable à celle illustrée par le croqui A.
S'assurer que l'appareil est branché à une
