The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. PROPERLY POLARIZED AND GROUNDED OUTLET marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) 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 accidentally.

The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. NOTE: 1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. 3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the C. VOLTAGE WARNING The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven serial plate located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.
