2. WARNING ­ Improper connection of the equipment-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 outlet 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 electrician.
