Electrical Safety

IMPORTANT (PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug. Use this with a
standard three-slot (grounding) wall power outlet to
minimize the hazard of electric shock. The
customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER PLUG.
A. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL
BE DISCONNECTED OCCASIONALLY:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if
you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use UL-listed
adapter, available from most local hardware
stores.
The large slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the large slot in the receptacle to assure a proper
polarity connection.

CAUTION
: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the
wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring. The
customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using
one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground
terminal might break. DO NOT USE the appliance
with a broken adapter plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL
BE DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations.
Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to
an eventual breakage of the ground terminal. The
wall power outlet should be replaced by a
three-slot (grounding) outlet instead.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an extension cord. However,
if you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA
certified/UL-listed 3-wire (grounding) extension
cord, rated at 15A, 125V.
