GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded

You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this
