and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same conguration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
