Getting things ready to install
your appliance (continued)
Electricity
Make sure that the voltage and frequency available correspond with the values stated on the data plate located at
the back of the machine and that the electric system is dimensioned to withstand the maximum current shown on
the data plate. If the socket the machine is connected to does not correspond with the plug, replace the plug with
a suitable one and avoid using adapters or shunts since they could cause over heating and burn out.
Grounding
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having and equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
