recommendagainstthe use ofan
extensioncord. However,if it is
necessa~yto usean extensioncord,
useonly a 3-wireextensioncord
thathas a 3-bladegroundingplug,
anda 3-slot receptaclethat will
acceptthe plugon the appliance.
The marked ratingof the extension

cord shallbe equalto or greater
thanthe electrical rating ofthe
appliance(15amperes).

Suchextensioncords are obtainable
throughGeneral Electric service.
If you do use an extensioncord
with yourmicrowaveoven, the
interior lightmay flicker andthe
blowersound mayvary when oven

isin use. Cook times maybe longer
as well.
