If you look closely at the front of a bare(uninstalled)
receptacle, you'll see tiny writing on many that is
legible only when the receptacle is held so that
the ground is on top. There's a major clue for all
the "looks silly with ground on top" crowd!


Â*Â* My refrigerator has a 90 degree angled plug.Â* To minimize stress on the cable, the wall receptacle needs to be installed with the ground pin down.
