held responsible for injury or damage
resulting from improper, incorrect, and
unreasonable use. Failure to install,
operate, and maintain the appliance in
accordance with this manual will adversely
affect safety, performance, component life,
and warranty coverage.

• The appliance requires an independent
power supply of proper capacity. See the

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED. The appliance is equipped
with a NEMA 5-15 three‑prong grounding
plug to reduce the risk of potential shock
hazards. It must be plugged into a properly
grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. If
the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility to have a qualified
electrician replace it with a properly
grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the
power cord and do not use an adapter plug.
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in death, electric shock, or fire.

power cord. The power cord should not be
altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down,
pinched, or tangled. Such actions could
result in electric shock or fire. To unplug
the appliance, be sure to pull the plug, not
the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
• The GREEN ground wire in the
factory‑installed power cord is connected
to the appliance. If it becomes necessary
to remove or replace the power cord, be
sure to connect the power cord's ground
wire.

directly onto or into the appliance. This
might cause short circuit, electric shock,
corrosion, or failure.

appliance. Alterations could result in
electric shock, injury, fire, or damage to
the appliance.

persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
