Waring WMO90 Instruction Manual - Page 4

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER: Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance. Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded. This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. Appliance is equipped with a 3-foot-long conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding plug to fit into the proper outlet. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance has a cord with a grounding wire and a grounding plug, which must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded outlet. The WMO90 plug (Fig. 1) can be connected to an adapter (Fig. 2) for use in 2-prong receptacles. The grounding lug, which extends from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box (Fig. 3) using a metal screw. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if there is doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. EXTENSION CORDS & LONG CORD SETS Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. 4
