WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are 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.
For Models Equipped with a Grounded Cord:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must
be grounded. In the event of a 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. Most houses have electrical outlets
under the sink that are half-hot. This means one
outlet is controlled by the wall switch, while the
other is always hot. The batch-feed or “TC” model
connects to the hot side, while the continuous feed
model connects to the switch side.
