5.0.1 Recommended Grounding Method
For your personal safety, this range must be grounded. This range is
equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock
hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National ANSI/NFPA 70
Electrical Code (latest edition*) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA)**
and local codes and ordinances. lf a mating receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have a properly polarized and grounded 3-prong outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
