The
30,"

all-gas
ranges
are
factory
equipped
with
a
power
supply
cord with
a
three-prong
grounding
plug
(with
polarized
parallel
blades).
IT
MUST
BE
PLUGGED
INTO
A
MATING
GROUNDING
TYPE
RECEPTACLE
THAT
IS
CONNECTED
TO
A
CORRECTLY
POLARIZED
120
VOLT
CIRCUIT.
(See
Fig.
19).
Improper
grounding
will
cause
malfunc
tion
(such
as
continuous
sparking
of
the
burner
igniters),
may
damage
this
appliance,
and
could
create
a
condition
of
shock
hazard
at
the
igniter
of
each
burner.
If
the
circuit
does
not
have a
grounding
type
receptacle,
it
is
the
responsibility
and
obligation
of
the
installer
or
user
to
have
the
existing
receptacle
changed
to
a
properly
grounded
receptacle
in
accordance
with
all
applicable
local
codes
and
ordinances
by
a
qualified
electrician.
In
the
absence
of
local
codes
and
ordinances,
the
receptacle
replacement
shall
be
in
accordance
with
the
National
Electric
Code.
THE
THIRD
GROUND
PRONG
SHOULD
NOT,
UNDER
ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES,
BE
CUT
OR
REMOVED.

If
installing
a
properly
grounded
wall
receptacle
is
impossible
at
the
time
of
installation,
consult
your
local
electrical
inspector
for
permission
to
connect
a
temporary
adapter
(with
polarized
blades)
which
could
be
plugged
into
your
present
2-wire
receptacle.
(See
Fig.
20).
This
method
is
not
recommended.
If
this
is
done,
you
must
attach
the
lug
and/or
the
green adapter
wire
to
the
receptacle
