115-vo1$modelsrequire a 115/120voit a.c., W hz grounded outlet protected with a 15amp time delay

fuse or circuit breaker. The power cord on these models has

a three-prong (grounding)plug that mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall outlet (Fig.1)to

minimize the possibilityof electric shock hazard from these appliances.

The power cord on these modelshas a 230/208-voltperpendicular type plugthat mates with a 230/208-volt perpendicular type wall outlet. (Fig.2). This type of outlet is available at most hardware stores.

when disconnecting the power cord from the adapterl alwayshold the adapter with one hand. If this isnot done, the adapter ground terminal isvery likely to break with repeated use.

Where a standard two-prong wall

outlet is encountered. it isyour personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded three-prong wall outlet,

230/208-voit models require their own single branch circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected with a

~0i]mp time delay fuse or circuit I}reaker.This is recon~mended for [lest performance arid to prevent

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, ifyou

stillelect to use an adapter, where

local codes permit, a T~i~ORARY

CO~CTION maybe made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter’ (Fig. 3) available at most local hardware stores.

FIRMCONNECTION BEFOREUSE

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 necessary that it be a U listed 3-wire grounding type appliance 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 name plate of

the appliance. Such extension cords

are obtainable through your local

service organization.
