The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) ping which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard ti-om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and drcuit checked by a
qualitied electrician to make sure the outlet is
