Use oflikten$ionCords
Becauseofpotentialsafetyhazards
under certainconditions,westrongly
recommend againstthe use of an
extensioncord. However,if it is
necessary to use an extensioncord,
useonly a 3-wireextensioncord
that has a 3-blade groundingplug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked ratingofthe extension
cord shallbe equal to or greater
than the electrical rating ofthe
appliance(15amperes).
Such extensioncords are obtainable
through General Electric service.
If you do use an cord
with your owm~
interior light may flicker and the
blower sound mayvary when oven
is in use. Cook times may be longer
as well.
