230/208-vo~tmodeis require their
l)wn single branch circuit supplying
230/208-volt a.c., protected with a
tiine delay fuse or circuit breaker.
This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a possible fire

However,
if you stillelect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL listed 3-wire grou~~dir]g
type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying r~ting of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate of
the appliance. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
