GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding 

will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path 

of least resistance for electric current. This appliance 

(Canadian market only) 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 properly installed and grounded in accordance with all 

local codes and ordinances. 

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check 

with a qualified electrician or service representative 

or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the 

appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug 

provided with the appliance (Canadian market only). If 

it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by 

a qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be 

exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not exhaust 

into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space in a 

building.

connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, 

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
