GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.

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

Warning

Improper connection of the equip- ment-grounding conductor can re- sult in the 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 quali- fied electrician.
