E. Electrical Connection
WARNING
• Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code
requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death,
electric shock, serious injury, fire, or severe damage to equipment.
• The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply
of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing
wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire.
•
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
The appliance is equipped with a
NEMA 5-15 three-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock
hazards. It must be plugged into a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a
qualified electrician replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord and do not use an
adapter plug. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, electric shock,
or fire.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the plug with damp hands.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not use an appliance with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not
be altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions could
result in electric shock or fire. To unplug the appliance, be sure to pull the plug, not
the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
• The GREEN ground wire in the factory-installed power cord is connected to the
appliance. If it becomes necessary to remove or replace the power cord, be sure to
connect the power cord's ground wire.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
• The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating.
