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 appliance 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. To avoid possible injury or property damage, care should be exercised when the dishwasher is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of damage to the power cord. Avoid Fire Hazard!
