ELECTRICAL

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.

Compressor:
If the unit shuts down frequently, you may have a low voltage
situation.

Low voltage can also be suspected when:

1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.

2. Home fuses or circuit breakers activate when starting compressor.

3. Lights dim or remain dim when compressor is started.

4. Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly or
too many motor operated appliances are on same circuit.

The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the
motor should overheat, the overload protector will shut off the motor.
If the unit shuts down and cannot be restarted, the motor must be
replaced. Call your dealer immediately.

Make certain extension cord is in good condition. Make certain extension
cord wire is NOT LESS than 18 gauge for 25 feet, 16 gauge for 50 feet and
