Electrical Connection

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service
center.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
or dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord
be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
