For your safety

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be
inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is
effectively earthed through the normal h0usehold wiring. Exten-
slon cords used with the unit must be three-core and be correctly
wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension
cords are a major cause of fatalities.

The fact that the unit operates satisfactorily does not imply that
the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely
safe. For your sfaty, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of
the power point, consult a qualified electrician.
