CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
1. Connect the mixer to a separate, dedicated circuit; for example: 120 volt,
20 ampere. The mixer requires a single, grounded outlet. No other
equipment is to be used on this dedicated line. See “GROUNDING” on
page 12.
2. The following chart represents the wire gauge size required for the
distance from the load center to the grounded receptacle.

EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords for 220 VAC models are not recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used, it should not be combined with others. Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-pole grounding plug. Power should be provided by a 3-pole receptacle
that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure that your extension cord is in
good condition. It must have # 16 AWG conductors up to 25 feet long. An
extension cord 25 feet long, but no longer than 50 feet is permissible provided it has
conductors of at least # 12 AWG. It must be heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.

The unit must be plugged into a dedicated
electrical line with no other equipment using
the same circuit.
