same circuit with the kettle.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming
tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rat-
ing of the kettle. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
