SHORT CORD INSTRUCTION
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of tripping over or becoming
entangled with a longer cord.
The cord should be accessible after installation of the machine in order to disconnect it at
any moment if necessary.
Longer extension cords are available at retailers authorized to sell electrical accessories, and
may be utilized if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance plug is grounded, the extension cord should be a 3-wire grounded
extension cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop, where it may be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
