Hello EJL! Thank you for your inquiry. The LG Electronics 1.5 cu. ft. Mid-Size Microwave, Model # LCR1513ST comes with a short power-supply cord to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. You can refer to page 3 of your owner's manual for the these details on what to use for your extension cord!...IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not recommended. At least match amp rating of appliance and cord, observe closely for hot cord during operation.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought a Monster surge protector that gas a long cord and also protects against power surges.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need an extension cord rated at 20 amps to a dedicated 20 amp outlet per the instruction manual. Have an 20 amp circuit installed for the unit and use the present outlet for something else
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Extension cords are never a good idea on kitchen counter tops. Which is why Building Codes don't allow them.
