exercised. If an extension cord

is used, (1) the marked electrical

rating of the cord set or

as great as the electrical rating

of the appliance, (2) the cord

should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the countertop

or table where it can be pulled

on by children or tripped over

unintentionally and (3) the

extension cord must include a

3-prong grounding plug.
