GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet 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.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 115 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
