• A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to
reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the
appliance;
b. The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-prong cord; and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
ELECTRICAL 3-PRONG PLUG
Appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding-type plug. It should be
properly connected to a grounding-type
outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY
a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such,
the grounding prong should never be
removed. If needed, a 2-prong adapter
may be used if local codes allow it.
