A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used,
1) The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
2) If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum
of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat.
3) An extension cord with the power cord must be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where they can be pulled on by children or tripped
over accidentally.
