Making Success Simple
Drip Loop
See reverse for additional information.
Whenever you plug in any electrical
appliance, it's important to utilize
a "drip loop". This prevents water droplets
from reaching the electrical outlet, which
can cause a severe hazard.
To make a drip loop, follow the diagram to the right.
Simply drop the power supply cord below the level
of the outlet you're plugging it into. This way, if any
water should get on the cord, it will drip off before
it reaches the electrical outlet.
