grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the out-
let is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance-if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
