If you do connect with the mains, just make sure you are in phase :)

One important thing to remember if you use the method of 
back-connecting to a dryer or range socket is that  the prongs on the 
plug are exposed and hot if the other end's plugged into the generator. 
Very easy to get shocked by coming into contact with the prongs, or to 
accidentally short them out. If you choose to do that, (of course, 
making sure there's no possible connection with the mains), first plug 
in inside and connect to the generator last.
