GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. To protect against
electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3
prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper grounding-
type receptacle. DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong
receptacle. If the plug will not t into a receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualied electrician.
CAUTION
Do not insert your ngers into any gaps or holes; it
may cause injuries.
WARNING
Improper use of the
grounding can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Three-pronged

DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard:
Touching some of the internal components can
cause serious personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.

EN-08
Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to
use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-pronged grounding plug , and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord sets 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 longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
