Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
A qualified electrician should be consulted if there is any doubt as to whether an outlet box is properly grounded.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment- grounding conductor. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade pin. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if 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 qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 115V circuit (NEMA 5-15R), and has a grounding plug (NEMA 5-15P) as illustrated below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
