d) Not intended for surface installation inside built-in
furnishings such as kitchen cabinets, china cabinets, or
trophy cases;
e) The National Electric Code (NEC) does not permit cords
to be concealed where damage to insulation may go
unnoticed. To prevent fire danger, do not run cord behind
walls, ceilings, soffits, or cabinets where it may be
inaccessible for examination. Cords should be visually
examined periodically and immediately replaced when any
damage is noted.
