Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

� A 120 V, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 A or 20 A, fused electrical supply

is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

� This machine is equipped with a power supply cord having a

3 prong grounding plug.

� To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged

into a mating, 3 prong grounding-type outlet, grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet

is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation

of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

� If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path is adequate.

� Do not ground to a gas pipe.

� Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

machine is properly grounded.

� Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for

electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do

not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.
