HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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

The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

The appliance should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug an appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.

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 roll over or damage the power cord.
