The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in
the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter

have the circuit chwked by a

However,
if you

that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate of
the appliance.
