Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power
cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or authorized service center.


Electrical Connection

:



This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is
equipped with a three-prong hospital-grade plug which mates with a standard three-
prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This unit is supplied with a hospital-grade NEMA 5-15 line cord with a ground (green
dot). It requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with 3-prong ground. It will
fit exactly into either a standard household 3-prong 115V grounded outlet or a standard
115V hospital-grade receptacle. 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.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left
exposed or dangling.

The unit 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 prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace
immediately any power cord that has 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 unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.


Extension Cord

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
