CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE
Caution: Always make sure that the machine is unplugged from power source and the
main switch is on “O” when the machine is not in use and before inserting or removing
parts.
Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the
machine is conforming with your electrical power.
Place the machine on a stable table.
1. Connect the power line cord to the machine by inserting the 2-hole plug into the terminal box.
2. Connect the power line plug to the electric outlet.
3. Turn on the power switch.
4. The light bulb will light up when the switch is turned on.
To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
For USA and Canada
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other),
to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
