of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service person if
you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly
grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. This

appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No plug
adapter should be used with this appliance.
