Electricalrequirements

115-voitmodelsrequire a 115/120vo!t a.c., 60 hzgrounded outlet protected with a 15amptime delay

fuse or circuit breaker. The power cord on these models

hasathree-prong (grounding) piug that mateswith a standard threeprong(grounding)wali outlet (Fig. 1) to minimize the possibility of electric

shockhazardfrom theseappliances.

PREFERRED METHOD

Fig.

Where astandard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it isyour personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded three-prong wall outlet.

DO NO~ UNDER ANY CIRCUM-

STANCES, CUT OR REMOVE

THE THiRD [GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

230/208-volt modelsrequire their

own single branch circuit supplying

230/208-volt a.c., protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker. This is recommended for best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard from overheating wires.

[115-t~oitillodeis only)

Because of potential safety

hazardsunder certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if you sti!l elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY

(ADAPTERPLUGSNOT PERMITTEDINCANAOA)

The larger slot in the ada~ter must be alig~ed with the large; slot in the wall outlet to provide properpolarity

inthe connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching adapter

ground terminal to wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and wall outlet is grounded through house wiring. Youshould havethe circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make

surethe outlet isproperly grounded.

Whendisconnectingthe power cordfromtheadapter,alwayshold

the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

use of extension cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessarythat it be a UL

listed 3-wire grounding type appii-

ance extension cord and that the

current carrying rating of the cord in

amperes be equal to or greater than

the branch circuit size shown on the

rating nameplate of the app!iance.

~uch extensior! cords are obtain-

able through your local service

organization.
