Make sure you have a breaker box for your unit in your home. Usually most modern building codes require that. Make sure they are labeled or if not plug in a lamp into the outlet you intend to change, turn it on and flick breaker involve to insure that it the correct one.
From then on installation is simple.
Most American made outlets are clearly labeled:
Hot ( black wire in most installations) is the brass screw on the outlet.
Neutral (white wire in most installations) is the nickel or chrome screw.
Ground (green wire) is the green painted screw.
When in doubt call a friend or electrician. It isn't difficult, not if you follow normal safety precautions.
