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 an authorized service center.
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit 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.
This unit requires a standard 115 Volt AC /60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. 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.
The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The unit 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 also prevent
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the unit
by pulling 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 unit, be careful
not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not
use an extension cord with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely
necessary that it be a 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 220 volts and at least 15 amperes.
