GEAppliances.com
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However; if"you inust use an extension COIII,
it is absolumly necessary that it be a ULlismd,
14 gauge, .%wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet arid that the electiical rating of the
cor_l be 15 amperes (minimuin) arid 125 volts.
CAUtiON:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of
the230/208 voltmodels.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-715-Voltmodelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug.
Howexei; if you mttst use an adapter, where
local codes pemfit, a temporaryconnection may
be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall
oudet by ttse of a UL-listed adapter available
at most local hardvare stores.
The larger slot in Hie adapter mttst be aligned

When disconnecting file power cord from die
adapm*; always hold the adapter in place widi
one hand while pulling the power cord plug
widi the other hand. If dfis is not done, the
Mapter ground terminal is ve*y likely to break
