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 with a grounding
wire and grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is proper-
ly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service-
man if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire exten-
sion cord that has a 3-pronged ground-
ing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that
will accept the plug on the appliance.
1. A short power-supply cord is pro
-
vided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or trip-
ping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or an extension
cord should not be used unless the
following precautions are followed
(see 3, below).
3. If a long cord or extension cord is
used:
• The marked electrical rating of
the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by chil-
dren or tripped over.
