Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break-
down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropri-
ate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connec-
tion of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a
qualied electrician or serviceman
if you are in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the product – if it will not t
the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
This product is for use on a
nominal 120-volt circuit and has
a grounding plug that looks like
the plug in Figure 1. Make sure
that the product is connected to
an outlet having the same con-
guration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this product.
CAUTION: Risk of Electric
Shock. Unplug the cord before
moving or servicing this furnishing.
!NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt cir-
cuit is required. A dedicated circuit
is preferred but not essential in
all cases. A dedicated circuit will
be required if, after installation,
the circuit breaker trips or fuse
blows on a regular basis when the
cassette is operating. Additional
appliances on the same circuit
may exceed the current rating of
the circuit breaker.
