ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION – For personal safety, do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third grounding prong from the power cord. Follow national electrical codes and ordinances. This appliance must be supplied with the voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate (located on the rear cover of the backsplash), and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a

15- or 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. If the electric supply provided does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.

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.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with

a qualified electrician or serviceman 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.
