plug, or if it doesn’t work properly or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
2) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle

The “drip-loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the

If the plug or socket does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to
