Electrical cord
A short power cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in, or tripping over
a longer cord. Using an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is used it must
be a VDE Listed Cord of an equal or greater rating than the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so it will not drape over countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension
cord should be of the same type. Do not leave this appliance unattended while in use.
