Hello!

First off, before everyone kneejerks a response, let me point out again
that this is a gas stove

Ok, so we have a brand new Maytag gas stove sitting in the kitchen.
Hooked up to gas just fine, but the nearest electrical outlet is about
8" too short. This is a 110 line for running the timers and igniters.

The Borg installer said that an extension cord is a really really bad
idea. Now, I fiddle with low-volt DC circuits a lot, so my guess is
that as long as

1) the extension cord's wire gauge meets or exceeds the actual cord
attached to the stove
2) it is a 3-prong grounded cord
3) it doesn't exceed more than 6 feet in length
4) the connection between the stove's plug and the extension cord's
socket is sufficiently high up off the ground to avoid fluid spills.

I should be ok anyways, right? I can't think of anything different
between AC and DC that would matter in this context, but feel free to
enlighten me, please.

Side question: I have many more questions. Would it be preferrable to
the denizens of this newsgroup for me to post them in one topic, or in
seperate topics? Just trying to fit in and not ruffle any feathers,
thanks.

TIA
