GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
WARNING
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 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.
An improperly grounded appliance can result in electric
shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is
properly installed and grounded.
