2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If an extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
   • The longer 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 over.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way.
• If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert.
• If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.
