circuit and is equipped with a grounding
plug as shown above. Time delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. It is

must be plugged into a correctly
polarized mating 3-prong grounding type
outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. No adapter should be used
with this appliance.
