Cord Safety

A short power supply cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk resulting from the cord becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord and causing the Cast Iron Professional Indoor Electric Grill to overturn,

spilling its hot contents. While EdgeCraft does not recommend it, extension cords are available and may be used if

care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, it must have an integral ground wire, a three prong plug

and the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least 20 amperes. The longer cord should be

arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or pets or

tripped over.
