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.
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.
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.
Ensure that the product is properly grounded before use.
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
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.
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.
