Eleclrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected b)' a 15-ami) or 20-amp circuit breaker or time
delay fllse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential satetv hazards associated with cert;fin
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However; if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UiAisted, 3-wire grotmding-b'pe appliance extension
cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equi\_flent to, or greater than, the branch
circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT (Please read caacefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAI_:TY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPFIILY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
E_lsureproperground
existsbeforeuse
The power cord of this appliance is equii)ped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which nlates with a standard
three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibili_' _ff electric shock hazard fl'om this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and drcuit
checked by a qualified electfidan to make sure the
receptacle is properly grotmded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encotmtered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a propedy gromMed three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCF£, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG I_IIOM
THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI's - GFCI's axe not required or
recommended for gas rmlge receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupte_ (GFCI's) are devices
that sense leakage _ff cun'eut in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the
consulnei: The National Electrical Code requires the
use _ff GFCI's in kitchen receptacles installed to se_a'e
cotmtem_p sm_i_ces. Pedimnance ot the range will not
be affected if operated on a (;FCl-protected drcuit
but occasional ntlisance till)ping of the GFCI breaker
is possible.

A. Usage Situations where Applimlce Power Cord will be
Discommcted Infrequently,
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not
use an adapter on a 20-amp drcuit. _4]_ere local codes
pemfit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made
to a propedy grotmded two-prong wall receptacle by the
rise ofa UiAismd adapte_; a\_filable at most hardware
stores. The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide
proper polafi V in the c(mnection of the power cord.
Temporary Method
(Adapterplugsnotpermittedin Canada)
Align large prongs/slots
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
CAUTION: At ,chingtheadapter ground
temfinal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance mfless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grotmded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the drcuit checked by a qualified electridan to make
sure the receptacle is propedy gr()tmded.
_,_]_en disconnecting the power cord fl'om the adapte_;
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter grotmd temfinal is very likely to break
with repeated use. Should this hal)pen, DO NOT USE
the appliance tmtil a proper grotmd has again been
established.
