Electrical Safety
IMPORTANT
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS AP-
PLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
The power cord(sold separately) of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug. Use
this with a standard three-slot (grounding) wall
power outlet to minimize the hazard of electric
shock. The customer should have the wall recepta-
cle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER PLUG.
A. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE
DISCONNECTED OCCASIONALLY
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if
you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY CON-
NECTION may be made. Use UL-listed adapter,
available from most local hardware stores. The large
slot in the adapter must be aligned with the large
slot in the receptacle to assure a proper polarity con-
nection.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using
one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground
terminal might break. DO NOT USE the appliance
with a broken adapter plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE
DISCONNECTED OFTEN
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Un-
plugging the power cord frequently can lead to an
eventual breakage of the ground terminal. The wall
power outlet should be replaced by a three-slot
(grounding) outlet instead.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an extension cord. However, if
you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA certi-
fied/UL-listed 3-wire (grounding) extension cord.
CAUTION
• Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the
wall receptacle is grounded through the
house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
