IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW 7"0 CONNECT ELI'2CTRICITY
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 (gronnding)
plug which maws with a standard 3-prong
(gronnding) wall outlet to minimize tile
possibility of electric shock hazard fiom
this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure
tile outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
Tile appliance should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches
tile rating plate. This provides tile best
performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard Dora
overheated wires.
Never unplug all appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grill tile
ping firmly and pull straight out flom
tile outlet.
Repair or replace immediamly all power
cords that have become flayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving tile appliance, be carefid
not to roll over or damage tile power
cord.
Becattse of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
adapter plug.
Howevei, if you must use all adaptei,
where local codes permit, a temporary
connection may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a
UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
Tile larger slot ill tile adapter must be
aligned with tile larger slot in tile wall
outlet m provide proper polarity ill tile
connecUon of tile power cord.
When disconnecting tile power cord flom
tile adaptor, always hold tile adaptor ill
place with one hand while pnlling tile
power cord plug with tile other hand.
If this is not done, tile adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with
repeamd use.
If tile adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has been established.
Attaching tile adapter ground terminal to
a wall outlet cover screw does not ground
tile appliance unless tile cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and tile wall
outlet is grounded through tile house
wiring. You should have tile circuit
checked by a qualified electrician m make
sure tile outlet is properly grounded.
Use of all adapter ping will increase
the clearance needed for tile back of
tile appliance.
