SAFETY INFORMATION

Electrical Information

• The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong Grounding Plug, which can only be used with a standard 3-prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of an electric shock hazard. Where a 2-prong outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility to have it
  replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not use a power cord that shows damage or cracks along the length or at the connector. A damaged power cord should be replaced with a new cord obtained from the manufacturer. Please contact Customer Service for replacement options.
• Do not modify the power cord length or share an outlet with another appliance. This may cause an electric shock or fire.
• Always use a dedicated power circuit. The voltage on the outlet should match the voltage rating on the rating plate.
• Do not use the outlet if it is loose or damaged. It may cause an electric shock.
