OWNER: Keep these instructions for future use.
Electrical Safety—
IMPORTANT...
Please Read Carefully.
How to connect electricity
For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly
grounded.
Electrical requirements
115-volt models require a 115/120-
volt
protected with a 15 amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
The power cord on these models has
a three-prong (grounding) plug that
mates with a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall outlet (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from these appliances.
PREFERRED
METHOD
INSURE PROPER
GROUND EXISTS
BEFORE USE
Fig. 1
Where a standard two-prong wall
outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
If there is any doubt as to
whether a proper ground exists,
it is important to have the wall
outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician.
Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against use
of an adapter
However,
if you stilielec; to;se an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNE~ION
may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by 'u;e of a
UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available
at most local hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD
BEFORE USE
Fig. 2
The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned-with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in
the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is me~l, and not
insulated, and wall outlet is grounded
have tie circuit check~ by a qualified
electrician to make sure~he ~utlet
is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord
from the adapter, always hold the
adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO N~ USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.

Use of efiension cords
not recommended
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly r~ommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate of
the appliance.
