Electrical Information
• The appliance must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electric outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer, service
technician, or a qualified person.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle
to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the unit before cleaning and
before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating
the unit with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the unit from being turned
off accidentally.

Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
