CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
Connect the mixer to a separate, dedicated circuit; for example: 120 volt, 20
ampere. The mixer requires a single, grounded outlet. No other equipment is
to be used on this dedicated line. See “GROUNDING” on page 13.
EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords for 220 VAC models are not recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used for 110 VAC models, it should not be combined with other extension
cords. Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pole grounding plug. Power
should be provided by a 3-pole receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Make sure that your extension cord is in good condition. This equipment draws 5.5
Amps at 115 VAC. An extension cord must be heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord can cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power, overheating and damage to the electronics.
The following chart represents the wire gauge size required in extension
cords for the distance from the grounded receptacle to the equipment.

The unit must be plugged into a dedicated
electrical line with no other equipment using
the same circuit.
