Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning power and/or
grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or
dangling.
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. This provides the best performance and
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle. Immediately repair or replace all power cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Due to potential safety concerns under certain conditions, 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 rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10
amperes.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
