This product must be grounded. If it 

should malfunction or breakdown, 

grounding provides a path of least re-

sistance 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 appropriate outlet that 

is properly installed and grounded in 

accordance with all local codes and or-

dinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a 

risk of electrocution. Check with a qual-

ified electrician or service personnel if 

you are in doubt as to whether the out-

let is properly grounded. Do not modify 

the plug provided with the product - if it 

will not fit the outlet, have a proper out-

let installed by a qualified electrician. 

Do not use any type of adapter with this 

product.

NOTE - In Canada, the use of a tempo-

rary adaptor is not permitted by the Ca-

nadian Electrical Code.

The HD 1.8/13 is supplied with a 

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) 

built into the power cord plug. This de-

vice provides additional protection 

from the risk of electric shock. If power 

is interrupted in the line, the GFCI will 

automatically re-close the circuit to the 

load after power is restored. Depend-

ing on the GFCI model, it may be nec-

essary to manually operate the reset 

button to restore power to the GFCI 

load circuit. If replacement of the plug 

or cord is needed use identical re-

placement parts.

몇

CAUTION

When connecting the water inlet to the 

water supply mains, local regulations 

of your water company must be ob-

served. In some areas the unit must 

not be connected directly to the public 

drinking water supply. This is to ensure 

that there is no feedback of chemicals 

into the water supply. Direct connec-

tion via a receiver tank or backflow pre-

venter, for example, is permitted.
