earthing/grounding conductor and earthing/grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and earthed/grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-earthing/grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly earthed/grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
