result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
•Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
