o If the plug does not match the available receptacle, remove the plug and

replace it with an approved plug of the suitable style.

 Note:

o Additional appliances on the same circuit may cause the current to exceed

the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse. Do not connect a Tray Dryer to the
same circuit that powers a Freeze Dryer.
