The appliance should always be plugged into an exclusive, properly grounded wall
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
provides the best performance and also prevents overloading wiring circuits that 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. Repair
or replace immediately 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
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recom-
mended 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.
