power to the appliance.Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the
receptacle.

If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used.
A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may over-
heat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped
over or pulled.
10. This appliance has polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, the plugs will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug
can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
