WARNING
The appliance should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly
conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from
improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to service and maintain the
appliance in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance,
component life, and warranty coverage.
To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire, follow basic
precautions including the following:
• Only qualified service technicians should install and service the appliance.
• The appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and
local codes and regulations.
• The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power
supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or damage
to existing wiring. This could lead to heat generation or fire.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the plug or power switch with
damp hands.
• Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in or
unplugging the appliance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Before servicing, move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Unplug the
appliance from the electrical outlet.
For 115VAC Models
•
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED: The appliance is equipped with a
NEMA 5-15 three-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock
hazards. It must be plugged into a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a
qualified electrician replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the plug and do not use an adapter
plug. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
