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, fi re, or damage.
• The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specifi cations. 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 fi re.
• 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 qualifi ed 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
properly ground the appliance could result in death or serious injury.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or plug with damp
hands. Make sure the control switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in or
unplugging the appliance.
• 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 fi re. 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 to this screw upon reattachment.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
• The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating.
