This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-pron g plug whic h mates with standard three pron g wall outlets to m inimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under an y circumstances c ut or rem ove the third gro und prong f rom the power c ord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This appliance requir es a standard 115/ 120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground o utlet with thre e-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit check ed by a qualified electr ician to make sur e the outlet is properl y grounded. When a s tandar d 2-prong wall outlet is encount ered, it is your respons ibility and oblig ation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The appliance shoul d always be plugged i nto its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltag e rating that matches the rating label on the appl iance. This provides the best p erformance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the applianc e b y pulling th e power cord. Always gr ip the plug f irml y and pull str aight out from the receptacle. Repair or r eplace immediatel y all power cords that have become frayed or oth erwise damaged. Do not use a cor d that shows crack s or abrasion dam age along its len gth or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

 EXTENSION CORD Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Lis t ed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

 SURGE PROTECTOR Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
