GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard

Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

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. To protect against electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3 prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper grounding-type receptacle. DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong receptacle. If the plug will not fit into a receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION:

Do not insert your fingers into any gaps or holes; it may cause injuries.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding can result

in a risk of electric shock

Three-pronged

(grounding) plug

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug , and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

1.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2.

Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3.

If a long cord sets or extension cord is used: a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension marked electrial rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. c.

The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
