What electrical outlet do I need, and how should I set up the power connection?

You'll need a grounded three-prong receptacle with 115V / 60Hz power supply rated for at least 15 amps on a dedicated circuit. The power cord connects at the left bottom rear of the unit. The power supply circuit must be installed in accordance with the current edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local codes & ordinances. [Page 3]
