GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

A)Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-connected appliance

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space in a building.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

B)Grounding instructions for a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment- grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
