A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
