Safety Precautions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating label on the appliance. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
or dangling to prevent accidental injury. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house
wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all pow-
er cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion dam-
age along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-
wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rat-
ing of the cord be 15 amperes and 115 volts. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electric shock,
or death.
