Improper connection 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.

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