GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The unit must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This unit is equipped with a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that has been properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may lead to electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether or not the unit is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit if it will not fit the
power outlet. Instead, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This unit has a grounding plug. Make sure that the product is connected to a power outlet with the same configuration as the plug.
