ing from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are ava i l a bl e
from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an ex t e n s i o n
cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marke d
with an electrical rating of 125 V, and at least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be
a r ranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally.
