l Check wlth a quallfled electrlclan as to whether the appliance Is properly earthed.

Failure to follow these lnstructlons could result In death or serious InJury.

It codes permit and a separate earthlng wire Is used, It Is recommended that a quallfled electrlclan determlne that the earthlng path Is adequate.

A two-wire, plus earthing wire, single-phase, 230-volt, %-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere electrical supply is required on a separate circuit. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
