Improper connection of the 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 device is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the device – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This device is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug. Make sure that the device is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this device.
