one must be used:
The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product;
If the product is of a 3-prong grounding type, the extension cord must be a grounding-
type 3-wire cord.
Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be tripped over or pulled.
WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This
is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the
plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do
not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
