Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be properly grounded. In the
event of breakdown or malfunction, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current. The
cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify the electrical plug
provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the
electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician install
a proper outlet. Make sure the power supply and
electrical outlet support a 110/120V, 15 amp
single-phase circuit.
Warning!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may
result in electric shock. If you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician or
service representative.
Important!
To prevent accidents, injury and fire, read instructions carefully before
you install the machine.
A qualified installer familiar with all local codes and ordinances for
plumbing and electricity should do the installation and grounding.
Incorrect installation may cause damage or injury.

well-ventilated area with room for electrical cords and hoses behind
