GROUNDING
IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow blow fuse.
3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch
off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These
devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The
National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen
receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.
Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a
GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance can occur.
DO NOT use an adapter plug because disconnecting of the
power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard
is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home
Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or
with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must
be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile
Home Installation Code.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
PREFERRED
METHOD
Seal any openings in the wall and floor after electrical and gas supplies are completed.
4. SEAL THE OPENINGS
CAUTION:
The customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
