Can you use an extension cord with a unit? And will it still work?

Make sure the extension cord is also 3 wire. Stations communicate by means of the Ground & the neutral. Without the ground wire, you will end up using 1 of 2 discreet set of the electric wire. Some part of the house will be not be connected anymore.

The device actually has a short entension cord attached. You can remove the plug in the back and position the device away from the wall socket. Thus, I cannot imagine why an exension cord would would not work fine. The device does not draw a lot of power so there is no danger of overheating an exension cord.

I used it plugged directly into outlet so I cannot say if it works with extension chord. I "think" I remember reading somewhere that it should be plugged into outlet. I am using it at my church and it works great bu I cannot just step down the hall and try it with an extension chord.Bruce J

Carol, Generally, I would think so. A rule of thumb is not to use an extension cord with a thinner cable than the cable of the unit you're extending. Small frigs don't use much current so I think that this extension cable would work.

According to the tag attached to the appliance, it is recommended to NOT use with any extension cord. The unit should be plugged directly into a wall outlet. You may want to contact the manufacturer for confirmation on this.

The cord is several feet long. I'd imagine no problems running it with an extension cord.

Not sure but since if an extension cord can be used but the product has a surge protector feature so it could well be ok. Remember that the average wall outlet is for a load max. of 15 amps and the extension cord drain should be of a concern.

Well, I didn't need to use an extension cord, but would imagine it should be alright to use one. I would use a good extension cord. I am very pleased with the Hoover L2310 performance.

Yes. You can plug it into an extension cord. I've had this item for over a year and it works great.

Thank you for your inquiry. This item is able to be used with a heavy duty extension cord. If you need further assistance, please let me know. Thank you.

I have been using mine several years with one of the heavy, orange, outdoor extension cords and it has worked fine. I do take the precaution as they recommend, to not allow the cord connection to sit in the snow.

My unit came with a plug in the back... It is pretty short so you may need a 2 prong extension chord to reach an outlet... Hope this helps.

do not use a extension cord! these heaters are hard wired and they need there own circuit.I have thirty five years in the electrical trade, but do what you think is wright.

Just read the instructions and they do not say anything about not to use an extension cord. Of course, it should be an outside cord.
