Don't. A stove or dryer outlet is protected at 30 to 50 Amps.
It is also not grounded, in that either of of the prongs are not at
ground level, as a 120V outlet has, or a european 240V outlet.



That won't matter, even the intended circuit is protected at at least 10A,
more than enough to burn up lots of parts in the TV, that's why it has it's
own internal fuse. The circuit breaker is to protect the wiring to the
outlet, not the device plugged into it. The ground also isn't an issue
(though as someone else said they are in fact grounded) but the TV very
likely won't have a grounded plug on it anyway so it won't matter.


I had this argument before. What on earth protects the linecord then?
