Electrical Connection; Extension Cord - Franklin Chef FIM12 User Manual

Electrical Connection

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug that mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance. 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. The ice maker 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 which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. 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 ice maker, be careful not to damage
the power cord.

Extension Cord

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this ice maker
because the cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you must
use an extension cord, the cord should be No. 16 AWG minimum size and
rated no less than 1800W.
