CAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION:
WIRING REQUIREMENT

• THIS PRODUCT MUST BE PLUGGED into a regular voltage grounded GFCI outlet (North America 120V ac). The rated power consumption is 1400W. In locations where only a standard two-prong outlet is available, it is the responsibility of the user to install a grounded three-prong outlet. Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident. This product is not responsible for damage resulting from the use of it on other than specified voltage, or operating it without proper grounding.

WARNING

• This product must be on a separate circuit. No other appliance should share the circuit with this product. Sharing a circuit could cause the branch circuit fuse to blow or the circuit breaker to trip. Continuous usage under these conditions could result in fire or property damage.

GROUND INSTRUCTIONS

1. This product has a three-prong grounding plug, which must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
2. This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw.
   

OPTIONAL GROUND INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER

• IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Electric wiring has to be done in accordance with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended or advised. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-prong extension cord (one to one), and a three slot built-in GFCI receptacle that will accept the plug on this product. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the unit (10amp). Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure whether the unit is properly grounded.
