Hello - Great question! We strongly recommend that an extension cord not be used with a microwave due to potential safety hazards under certain conditions. Extension cords may be used if the following conditions are met. The extension cord must be a three-wire grounding type appliance cord that has an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approval and mentions the current it can handle. The extension cords are usually marked 15 or 20 amps. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the microwave. The extension cord should be placed so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over. We're very glad that you checked! -Mikayla@GEA
