This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit 

malfunction, grounding provides a path of least 

resistance for the electric current. This reduces the 

risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with 

a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor, 

and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted 

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed 

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and 

ordinances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit 

and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like 

the plug illustrated in the sketch below. Make sure 

that the appliance is connected to an outlet having 

the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor 

should be used with this appliance.
