appliance should be discarded. Never cut
the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug
or electrical outlet getting wet, position the
appliance to one side of a wall mounted outlet
to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet
or plug. A "drip-loop" should be arranged. The
"drip-loop" is that part of the cord below the
level of the unit and the outlet, or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water from traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the outlet or light unit. If the plug or outlet
does get wet, DON'T unplug the electrical cord. Disconnect the
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance, then
unplug and examine for presence of water in the outlet.
