Hazard
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. Time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Recommended Grounding Method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3-prong, grounding-type,
wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the
national Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70—latest
edition* and all local codes and ordinances. If a
mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong,
wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
