ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
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.
z
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.
z
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.
z
This unit requires a standard 115/120 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.
z
The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
z
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 overheated.
z
Never unplug the unit by pulling the power cord. To disconnect the appliance, always
grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the wall outlet.
z
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
z
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord or power board with this unit.
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.
