entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised
in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
