This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, grounding-type wall receptacle.

NOTE: Additional mounting boards may be required if the unit does not touch the back wall of the enclosure. To prevent unit from tipping forward, it must be secured in place with a solid soffit or wood block. 24 General Information • Most of the unit's weight is at the top.
