D. 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.
• This 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.
•
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED:
Failure to properly ground the
appliance may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
Corded Models:
Corded models are equipped with either a NEMA 5-15
three-prong grounding plug or a NEMA 5-20 three-prong grounding plug to
reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. Corded models 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 plug and do not use an adapter plug. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
•
Hard-Wired Models:
Hard-wired electrical connections must be made in
accordance with the instructions on the "WARNING" tag, provided with the pig tail
leads in the junction box. See Fig. 12.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the power switch or plug with
damp hands.
• Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in or
unplugging the appliance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• On corded models, 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.
