ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:
● The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating
plate on the back of the appliance.
● The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
● The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug
replaced.
● The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important
safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-
pronged grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local
codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it
is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local
codes and ordinances. The third ground prong should not, under any
circumstances, be cut or removed. Never use the cord, the plug or the appliance
when they show any sign of damage. Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless it has been checked and tested by a qualified electrical supplier.
Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in risk of fire, electric shock
and/or injury to persons associated with the appliance. Check with a qualified
service representative if in doubt that the appliance is properly grounded.
