This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.

Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result
in fire or electric shock.
