property damage resulting
from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a
longer cord.
If an extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or
extension cord should
be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the
appliance, (2) the cord
should be arranged so
that it will not drape over
the countertop or table­top where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped
over unintentionally and
(3) the extension cord
must include a 3-prong
grounding plug.
