It must be plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle to avoid electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer should have it checked by a qualified electrician. If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian Electrical Code), this appliance must be installed on a separate branch circuit. Installer – show the owner the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
