CORRECT WAY
Place your plug at 45º over the AST's universal socket, then gently push it down and push forward toward the 90º position. The plug should go in smoothly.
WRONG WAY
Push your plug at 90º straight down into the AST universal socket will require a lot more force. Depending on the angle, sometimes it is just not possible to push in. The "Child Safety Shutters" are our patented design to protect children from accidental electrical shock, not a manufacture defect.
