If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Short Cord instructions a) A short power cord (or detachable power cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. b) Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used with care. c) If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used, 1)The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and 2)The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table-top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
