16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as
the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use
of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock
hazard to the user.
NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call
a qualified technician for examination and repair.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or
pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result.

cords DO NOT become entangled, pinched and/or severed during operation of the
electric bed.
NEVER operate the unit if these cords are damaged.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Grounding reliability depends upon a
properly grounded wall outlet.
