Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not entirely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the wall outlet is properly grounded.
- If the wall outlet is a standard two prong outlet, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
- Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) pin from the power cord plug.
- Do not use adapter plugs or extension cords with this appliance.
- If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an electrical outlet near the machine.
