does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
ELECTRICAL CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from children grabbing the cord
or someone becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
