Installation Instructions
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt,60 Hertz,properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Becauseof potential safety hazards associated with
certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the
useof an extension cord. However,if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed,3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Pleoseread carefully)
FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCEMUST
BEPROPERLYGROUNDED.
Preferred Method
E_lsure proper ground
exists before use
Thepower cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding)plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimizethe possibilityof
electric shockhazardfrom this appliance.
Thecustomer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle isencountered,
it isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word obout GFCIs- GFCIsore not required or
recommended for gos ronge receptocles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)are devices that
senseleakage ofcurrent in a circuit and automatically
switch off powerwhen a threshold leakage levelisdetected.
Thesedevices must be manually reset by the consumer.
TheNational ElectricalCoderequiresthe use of GFCIsin
kitchen receptacles installedto servecountertop surfaces.
Performanceofthe range will not beaffected if operated on
a GFCI-protectedcircuit but occasional nuisancetripping of
the GFCIbreaker is possible.
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A.UsageSituations WhereAppliance Power Cord Will Be
Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not
usean adapter on a 20-amp circuit.Where local codes
permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay be made to a
properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL-listedadapter, available at most hardware stores.The
larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger
slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
Temporary Method
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Align large prongs/slots
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
^_CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unlessthe cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done,the adapter ground terminal isvery likelyto break
with repeated use.Should this happen, DO NOTUSE
the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
