Power Supply Circuit Requirements
You MUST connect your machine to a grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir- cuit with one of higher amperage without consult- ing a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to con- nect your machine to a shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.
