exercised. If an extension cord
is used, (1) the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, (2) the cord
should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop

on by children or tripped over
unintentionally and (3) the
extension cord must include a
3-prong grounding plug.
