ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and a grounded plug.
For standard indoor installation, it’s recommended that a dedicated electrical circuit
suitable for a NEMA 5-15 outlet serving only your appliance be used; please ensure
the outlet is easily accessible.
WARNING
Do not under any circumstances cut or otherwise remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord. Doing so increases the risk of electric shock, injury,
and/or death.
WARNING
We do not recommend using an extension cord because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions. If one is used on this appliance, it may void
the warranty.
• For outdoor installation, an electrical leakage circuit breaker is required. Further, if
outdoor installation in a moist or damp location is unavoidable, an electrician must
install a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet.
WARNING
If no GFCI is properly installed, electrical shock, injury, and/or death could
result. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not completely understand these
grounding instructions.
