short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation
Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or
crush it in any way.

3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
