Electrical Connection
Important! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of 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 inserted into an outlet that is properly grounded and installed. The ground
wire cannot be connected to a gas pipe, heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It
cannot be replaced with the neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the ground wire, an
electrical leakage circuit breaker is also required. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not
completely understand these grounding instructions.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock could result.
Do Not Use an Extension Cord
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions.
