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.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet
with three-prong. 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
appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
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 prevent overloading house wiring circuits
that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance 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 appliance, 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 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.
