              I would not recommend it.

                  It’s generally not recommended. If you must, use a cord with a thicker wire gauge and the shorter the cord the better. And don’t run the heater unattended (which is good advice whether using an extension cord or not).

                      Refer to the manual. Most likely it will say not to…
