position and on batch feed models

remove the stopper from the run

position.

10. a. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CORD-CONNECTED UNITS. This

appliance must be grounded. In the

event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock If this

appliance is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug, the

plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is property

installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

For service information, call toll-flee 1-800-422-1230
