COMMERCIAL USE OF THIS APPLIANCE VOIDS THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if
you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the
illustration. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this
appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance
for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for
this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It
must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
