28. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

this unit has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other) and will

require the use of a polarized

extension cord. This unit plug will fit

into a polarized extension cord only

one way. If the plug does not fit,

obtain a correct polarized extension

cord. A polarized extension cord

requires the use of a polarized wall

outlet. This plug will fit into a polarized

wall outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install the proper wall

outlet. Do NOT change the unit plug,

extension cord receptacle or

extension cord plug in any way.

29. When using an extension cord, make

sure that it is a cord that is heavy

enough to carry the current that your

unit will draw. An undersized

extension cord will cause a drop is

line voltage resulting in loss of power

and overheating. The table below

shows the correct size to use
