Grounding Instructions

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.

Warning
  • Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

  • Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service person install an outlet near the appliance.

  • A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Note
  • Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power supply cord. See the separate installation instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.
