still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Use of extension cords
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is

sion cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord is 15
