Helpful Hint
A few years back, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved
the polarization of the "household" two prong electrical plug.....
In doing so, one prong was made larger than the other.....
The plug would go into the wall receptacle or socket only one
way.....
In today's world many people possess different electrical
appliances.....Some sit on a counter and are plugged in all the
time.....IE: microwave, toaster, coffee maker......And, a number
of appliances are plugged in when needed....IE: hand mixer,
electric knife, George Forman grill......
For those "as needed" appliances, you can mark the electric
plug if "white" with a black magic marker dot and those which
are "black" with white "liquid paper" dot.....This way the you
can quickly determine which way the plug easily fits into the
socket......Works for me.....Pumps
