an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding connector can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this product – if it will not fit in the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
