UseofExtensionCords
Becauseofpotentialsafetyhazards
undercertainconditionswestrongly
recommendagainstthe use of an
extensioncord, However,if itis
necessary to use anextensioncord,
use onlya 3-wireextensioncord
that has a 3-blade groundingplug,
and a 3-slotreceptacle that will
acceptthe plug onthe appliance.
The marked ratingof the extension
cord shallbe equalto or greater
than the electrical ratingof the
appliance(15amperes).
Such extensioncords are obtainable
through General Electric service.
If youdousean extensioncord
with
your microwave/convection
oven, the interior lightmay flicker
and theblower soundmay vary
when ovenis inuse. Cook and
defrosttimes may be longer aswell.
