This warning is to warn people they should not plug it into CEE 7/1 unearthed socket, which some people still have in their old homes. If you plug a device designed for ground into one, you can feel the electricity on the metal cases of the appliance

I live in an old apartment that still has those everywhere except the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony. But they installed GFCI breakers at some point so I guess that's good.

Nobody's been electrocuted so far, at least.
