Grounding Instructions

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against possible electric shock hazards. It must be plugged into a grounded wall receptacle. If only a two-prong wall receptacle is available, it is the responsibility of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. Do not use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
