Electrical Connection
•
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded.
•
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard 3-prong
grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance.
•
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
•
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 also prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
•
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.
