Extension Cords

Use a sufficient gauge: Up to 25 ft = 12/2
AWG; 25 to 50 ft = 10/2 AWG. Use only
extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by the marking “Acceptable for
use with outdoor appliances; store
indoors while not in use.” Use only
extension cords having an electrical rating
not less than the rating of the product. Do
not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and
replace if damaged. Do not abuse

cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from

heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect
the extension cord from the receptacle
before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord. If you are using an
extension cord, it should always be
completely unwound from the cable drum. 

This Product Is 
Double Insulated

In a double-insulated product, two
systems of insulation are provided instead
of grounding. No grounding method is
provided on a double-insulated product,
nor should a method for grounding be
added to the product. Servicing a double-
insulated product requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should
be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated product must be
identical to the parts they replace. 

A double-insulated product is marked
with the words, “DOUBLE INSULATED.”

tions specified in the manual.

• This machine has been designed

for use with cleaning detergents
supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of other
cleaning detergents may affect
the operation of the machine and
void the warranty.
