Grounding Instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Additional Grounding Procedure
Some local regulations may require a separate ground. In such
cases, the required accessory ground wire, clamp and screw
must be purchased separately. Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or water pipes.
A 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is
installed in an area where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral. Power supply cord must be replaced by a
licensed electrician only.
Warning
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance has been properly grounded.
