a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a 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, and (2) the longer cord should be arran-
ged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by chil-
dren or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appliance is listed on the bot-
tom of the unit. The appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a groun-
ded type 3 wire cord.
