UTENSILS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
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.
If it is necessary
to use an
extension
cord, use only a 3-wire
extension
cord that
has a 3-blade
grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked
rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or
greater
than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long cord or extension cord is used: !) The
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. 2) The extension cord must
be a grounding-type 3- wire cord, and 3) The longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
