This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current. This reduces the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor, and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical

shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are unsure if an outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance to fit an outlet, have a proper 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 the sketch below. 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.
