A short power-supply cord for detachable

This unit has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if you are careful in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the 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 unintentionally. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type 2-wire cord. The power cord must be kept dry and must not be bent or anything put on too of it.

CONTROL PANEL
