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 plug
can result in a risk of electric shock. 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.
Connection to Power Supply
Connect the appliance power cord and plug to a
properly grounded wall outlet. The required nominal
voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate
(inside the unit or on the exterior rear wall of the unit).
