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. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified 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-blade grounded plug, and 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.
Electric Shock Hazard:
Touching some of the internal components can cause
serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble
this appliance.
DANGER
EN-7

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.
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 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 counter top or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
