Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which fits into 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 supplied.
This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt A.C. /60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground(American)or 220-240 Volt A.C. /50Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground
(European). Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-
prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to
prevent accidental injury.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the
best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a
fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace
immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a
cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When
moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended
that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an
extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/ETL-Listed, 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
