This appliance must be grounded. Grounding

If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be

outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage
and frequency the appliance is designed for.

adapters or together with another appliance in the
same wall outlet.
Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong
from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
For lighting equipment with cords please ensure that
the cords:
1. Are not concealed or extended through a wall,
floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building
structure,
2. Are not located above a suspended ceiling or
