7. 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 the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
8. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
