IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS/OPTIONAL KITSWARNING
Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
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 power cord having
a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified
electrician or service
technician if the grounding
instructions are not
completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard
2-prong wall outlet, it is
your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
Do not under any circum-
stances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from
the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug
with this appliance.
Do not use an extension
cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified
electrician or service
technician install an outlet
near the appliance.
For best operation, plug
this appliance into its own
electrical outlet to prevent
flickering of lights, blowing
of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
