for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
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.

are in doubt as to whether the appliance 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
