Youshouldhave the two-prongwall
receptacle replaced with a three-
prong (grounding)receptacleby a
qualifiedelectrician before using
the appliance.
Because of potential safety hazards
undercertainconditions,we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extensioncord. However,if it is
necessary to use an extensioncord,
use only a 3-wire extensioncord
that has a 3-blade groundingplug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the
appliance (15amperes).
Suchextensioncordsare obtainable
throughGeneralElectricservice.
If you do use an
