Electrical Connection
A 15 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required to operate this appliance.

installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used, it must be a minimum
14 ga, 3 wire with grounding type plug and connector and rated not less than 1875 watts. The extension
cord shall not be more than 20 ft (6 m) in length.
