Important Grounding Instructions  
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 cord having a grounding  
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must  
be plugged into an outlet that is properly  
installed and grounded.  
WARNING-Improper use of grounding can  
result in a risk of electric shock.  
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the  
grounding instructions are not completely  
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the  
appliance is properly grounded and either:  
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use  
only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade  
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will  
accept the plug on the appliance. The marked  
electrical rating of the extension cord shall be  
equal to or greater than the rating of the  
appliance, or  
2. Do no use an extension cord. If the power  
supply cord is too short, have a qualified  
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the  
appliance.
