GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance: If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
