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 having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson
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.
