BEFORE INSTALLATION
WARNING
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• This appliance must be grounded. 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 is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
• Improper grounding may result in electrical shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
• Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not disassemble this appliance. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly
installed and grounded.
• A short power-supply cord (48"/1219 mm) is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. We do
not recommend using extension cords.
• If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounded plug and 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
