If you have a twenty amp outlet, I would use a cord rated for 20 amps. Use of a smaller (less amp rated cord) is asking for trouble. The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow you to use wire related for less amps than the breaker it is attached to. If the installer used a 20 amp outlet, there is a reason.
So how would I know if the plug is 20A?
