3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 6o Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected
by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain
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 UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or
greater than, the circuit rating.
Grounding
lflPllllT.i\i\rl':(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-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, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI's -GFCI's are not required or
recommended fbr gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCrs) 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 corLsumer. 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 tripping of dthe GFCI breaker is possible.

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be
Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not use
an adapter on a _)o-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed
adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in
the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
Temporary Method
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Align large prongs/slots
Ensure proper
ground and firm
connection before
use
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
