the receptacle, to prevent water travelling along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or
receptacle does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord; dis-
connect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to
the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.
