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 that has a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do not under any circumstance cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman 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
extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance.
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used: 1) The
marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. 2) The
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-
wire cord, and 3) The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE:
If your electric power line or outlet
voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times
may be longer. Have a qualified electrician
check your electrical system.
