INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Grounding Instructions This appliance must be properly grounded. In the event of breakdown or malfunction, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the electrical plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician install a proper outlet. Make sure the power supply and electrical outlet support a 110/120V, 15 amp single-phase circuit. Warning! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in electric shock. If you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician or service representative. Important!
