Installation Warnings

Danger

Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance

Warning

Improper use of grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until the appliance is properly installed and grounded.

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.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire (grounded) extension cord.

  1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
  2. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
         1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set, or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
         2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
         3) The long 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.
