230/208-volt models require their

230/208-volt a.c., protected with a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a possible fire

recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension

it be a

that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate of
the appliance. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
