and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical 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 electrical shock. Check with
a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a
grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same conguration
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
