Becauseof potential safety hazards undercertain conditions, we strongiy

recommend againstthe use of an extension cord. However,if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessarythat it be a U!listed 3-wire grounding ty~e appliance extension cord and that the current carrying ratingofthe cordbe

15amperesminimum. Such exten-

sion cords are obtainable through

your local service organization.

Thek+mgerslotin the adapter mustbe aligned withthe Iargerslot inthe wall receptacle to provide proper polarity inthe connection of the power cord.

CAUTK2N:Attaching adapter ground terminal to wail receptacle

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and wall receptacle is grounded through house wiring. Customer should havethe circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power

cmrcifrom 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 the adapter ground

terminal break, DO NOT USE the app!iarlce until a proper grcNJnd hasagain been established.

This isrecommended for best

performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits,

which could cause a possible fire

hazardfrom overheating wires.
