Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in an electrical shock hazard. If the power
cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized FORNO Products service centre.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three
prong wall outlets to minimize the chance of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
supplied power cord.
This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground plug.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling
to prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have
a 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 grounded appliance-type extension cord with a ground 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.
