A power cord (115V units only) is supplied with a
plug attached. Plug the power cord into the deĆ
sired receptacle.
This oven model uses a variable frequency invertĆ
er drive. Appliances that use variable frequency
inverter drives produce high frequency noise and
require filters and shielded motor cabling. This
causes higher leakage current toward Earth
Ground. Especially, at the moment of switching
ON this can cause an inadvertent trip of the apĆ
pliance's ground fault interrupter (GFCI). Some
GFCIs are more sensitive than others. Blodgett
has qualified the Pass and Seymour brand, part
number 2095, 20 A, 125 VAC, 60 Hz, specification
grade GFCI duplex receptacle as being immune to
the variable frequency inverter drive's noise. BlodĆ
gett recommends using this specific GFCI for this
model oven.
WARNING!!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its serĆ
vice agent.
