This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord with 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.
DANGER—Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the product is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with
