conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not use an adapter or
extension cord. Do not remove ground prong. If you
don't have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
