GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

This al)pliance must be gTounded. In the event of an electlJcal

short circuit, groml(ting reduces the lJsk of electlJC shock bv

providing an escape wire/_)r the electri( current.

This al)l)liance is equipped with a 1)ower cord h;_ving a gromlding

outlet that is t)ropefly installed and gromlded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding

instructions are not completely mlderstoo(t, or il doubt exists as to

whether the al)pliance is t)rot)erly gqcounde(t.

If the outlet is a standard 2-1)rong wall outleL it is your personal

We do not re(ommend using an extension cord with this appliance.

If the power cord is too short, haw a qualified electrician or service

teclmMan inst_dl an outlet near file at)pliance. (See WARNING--
