3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as

or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Short Cord Instructions
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
