appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance

result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance-if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
