Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, contact Sunpentown at 800.330.0388.
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.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong. When a 2-
prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Caution: Installation must be performed in accordance with the NEC/CEC by authorized personnel only.
This appliance is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.
The appliance should be plugged into its own independent electrical outlet that has a voltage rating
matching that of the appliance, as indicated on the unit's rating label. This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading the circuits that could cause a fire hazard.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Repair or immediately replace power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use
a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the
power cord.
It is strongly recommended not to use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too
short, best to have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of
an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit. However, if an extension cord must
be used, it is absolutely necessary that it is an UL/cUL-listed, 3-wire appliance type extension cord with
an electrical rating of 115 volts and at least 10 amps.
