SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
Regarding your cord set:
A. A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
B. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If an extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
