Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
• Plug into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug, cord,
or loose power outlet.
• Do not modify the plug, cord, or outlet.
• Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
• Use a dedicated 120-volt, 60-Hz, 15-amp, AC, fused electrical circuit. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. Plug only the cooktop into this circuit.
•
Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot-water pipes.
• This cooktop must be grounded. In case of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides the current a safe path.
•
If unsure your electrical outlet is properly grounded, have a licensed electrician check it.
• If codes allow a separate ground wire, have a qualified electrician determine its path.
• Electrical service to the cooktop must conform to local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, to the National Electrical code/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.)
or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
• The owner shall ensure the cooktop is provided proper electrical service.
Location safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
• The cooktop is for indoor household use only. Do not install the cooktop outside or
anywhere that it will be exposed to weather, water, wind, or strong drafts.
• On windows near the cooktop, do not hang paper blinds or long curtains that could be
blown over the cooktop.
• The cooktop must be installed within easy reach of a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
•
For proper ventilation, the cooktop needs sufficient space below, all around the chassis.
Vents in the chassis exhaust heat and fumes so the cooktop can operate properly.
•
Wall coverings around the cooktop must be able to withstand heat up to 194 °F (90 °C).
• Do not store items above the cooktop. If cabinet storage above the cooktop is needed,
allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) between the cooking surface and the cabinet bottom.
