• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this material. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
  FOLLOW WARNING CALL-OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL

• Use two or more people to move and install appliances. Failure to do so can result in back or another injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drips.

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other sources of high heat.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 2-round and 1-hole plug which mates with standard 2-round and 1-hole wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
This appliance requires a standard 230 Volt AC ~/50Hz electrical ground outlet with 2-round and 1 hole. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded?
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
➢ EXTENSION CORD Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. ➢ SURGE PROTECTOR Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city/country is prone to power surges/outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices/appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer-covered defect and will void your product warranty.
