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 fit into a receptacle, have the
proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not disassemble this appliance.
