ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements

120volt,

60 Hertz, properly grounded branch

circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit

breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord. However,

if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is

absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord

and that the current carrying rating of the cord

in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,

the branch circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT-(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE

MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a three-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard three-prong grounding

The customer

should have the

and circuit

qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle

is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp

circuit. Where local codes permit, a

TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be

made to a properly grounded two-prong wall

receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter,

available at most hardware stores. The larger

slot in the adapter must be aligned with the

larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide

proper polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

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.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.

If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal

is very likely to break with repeated use. Should

this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a

proper ground has again been established.
