Improper installation or alteration of grounding plug results in risk of electric shock, fire or explosion that could cause serious injury or death.

1.The 232918, 232665, 232915, 232914 require a 230 VAC, 50 Hz, 10A circuit with a grounding receptacle. The 232919 requires a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 15A circuit with a grounding receptacle. The 232916, 232917 require a 100 VAC, 50 Hz, 15A circuit with a grounding receptacle. The 232910 – 232913 require 120 VAC, 60 HZ, 15A with a grounding receptacle. See Fig. 2.
