outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
