SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must
be grounded. In the
event of an electrical
short circuit,
grounding reduces
the risk of electric
shock by providing
an escape wire for
the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or
service technician if the GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
We do not recommend using an extension
cord with this appliance. If the power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician
or service technician install an outlet near
the appliance. (See EXTENSION CORDS
section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into
its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
Ensure
proper
ground exists
before use.
WARNING!
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
Usage situations where appliance’s power
cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded wall receptacle by the use of a UL
listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power 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.
You should have the circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one
hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power
cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these
situations because frequent disconnection of
the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the
adapter ground terminal. You should have
the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a
3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
Ensure proper
ground and
firm connection
before use.
