IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements
noted
(under ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS),
a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered,
it is very important to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle, installed by a qualified
electrician.

CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to
avoid severe or fatal shock

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT,
DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
