FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The power cord on this
appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounded)
receptacle as illustrated above.
If there is a two-prong outlet located where you will install
the compactor, it is your responsibility to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. No
adapter shall be used with this product.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD PLUG.
The GREEN (or GREEN & YELLOW) conductor in the
cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the GREEN (or
GREEN & YELLOW) wire to a live terminal.
A 10 volt, 60 Hz., A.C., 15 amp fused and grounded
electrical supply is required (time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended). It is recommended that a
SEPARATE CIRCUIT serving only this appliance be
provided.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
