requirement
U5-volt models require a lH/l20-
volt a.c., 60 hz grounded outlet
protected with a 15amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
The powercord on these modelshas
a three-prong (grounding)plug that
mates with a standard three-prong
(grounding)wall outlet (Fig. 1)to
minimizethe possibility of electric

Ofewensiom C OT*
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recomend
agtit
the
use of an extensioncord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary tl~at
it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nalneplate of
the appliance. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
