WARNING!
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the
manufacturer strongly recommends against the use of an extension
cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-Listed (in the United States) or a CSA-Listed
(in Canada) appliance extension cord, with 15 A (minimum), 120 V
electrical ratings.
!
CAUTION!
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to splice extension
cord wires.
• Do not use power strips or 2-way splitters.
• Always unroll or uncoil an extension cord to avoid heat retention and
possible melting.
