The rating plate located on the right side of the appliance just above the power cord contains electrical and other technical data.

This appliance is not designed for "through the wall" installation.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet.

Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

POWER SUPPLY CORD

The power cord contains a device that senses damage to the power cord. To test if the power cord is working properly:

  1. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical outlet.
  2. The power supply cord has two buttons located on the head of the plug. One button is marked "Test" and the other is marked "Reset". Press the "Test" button and the "Reset" button will pop out and click.
  3. Press the "Reset" button and a click will sound as the button engages.
  4. The power supply cord is now energized and supplying electricity to the appliance.

Notes:

  • If the appliance looses power, the reset button may need to be reengaged when the power resumes.
  • This button should not be used to turn the appliance on and off.
  • The "Reset" button must always be pushed in for correct operation.
  • The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to reset when the "Test" button is pushed in.
