GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product may be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current

plug. The plug must be connected to an appropriate 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 electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
