IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, it is important to understand that some circuits are electrically live, even when the power switch
followed to reduce the risk of burns, ﬁre, electrical shock, injury and/or death.

Power Connection
Power plug must be used with a three-pronged, grounded outlet, rated for no less than 15A service. Always verify before product use. Depending on speciﬁc model, this appliance is for use on a nominal 120V/60Hz circuit with a veriﬁed ground plug. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician to ensure you have the correct electrical service and grounding.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for an electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. 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. Do not use an adapter with this product except to provide ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.

DANGER : Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if 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. Do not use an adapter with this product except to provide ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.

Extension Cord

The unit is supplied with an extension cord. If the provided extension cord becomes damaged or if you wish to purchase additional extension cords or other replacement parts you may contact www.byoplanet.com f or spare parts purchase.
