tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you can
use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:
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 extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a
3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an
