most local hardware stores.
The large slot in the adapter must be aligned with the large slot in the receptacle to assure a
proper polarity connection.
●Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
