Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements
noted
(under ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS),
electrician should be employed to correct
deficiencies.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered,
it is very important to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
