the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, and (2) if the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type

will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.
