The power cord on these models has
a 230/208-voltperpendicular type
plug that mates with a 230/208-volt
perpendicular type wall outlet.
(Fig. 2). This type of outlet is
available at most hardware stores.

Electticd
requirements
115-vo1$ models require a 115/120-
voit a.c., W hz grounded outlet
protected with a 15amp 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.
when disconnecting the power
cord from the adapterl always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use.

PREFERRED
METHOD
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend 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 U 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 name plate of
the appliance. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
