GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-
connected appliance
In the event of 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 properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be
exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not exhaust
into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space in a
building.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative or personnel 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.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently
connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
