This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this

This appliance requires a standard 115Volts~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to

qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this unit. However, if you
must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed,
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
surge protector
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These
boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power
surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical
devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge
block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any
questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed
electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and
will void your product warranty.
