Installation requirements
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, re, or electrical shock.
Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected
frequently
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the
power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure
of the adapter ground terminal. 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 three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualied
electrician before using the appliance.
Additional installation requirements for mobile homes
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform
with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In
Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA
Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.

Power cord location
The power cord for this appliance is located
on the back of the range, near the bottom
right hand corner. The 53-in (135-cm)
power cord will come installed on the range
and taped to the back for shipping.
• This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate
if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.
Gas models
• Canada gas models are equipped with a power cord with an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
(The power cord is not provided in US model.)
• A 240-Volt, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical service with 40-amp circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse is required for all U.S. and Canadian models.
• Check for ¾-in (1.9-cm) UL-listed strain relief where the power cord comes out
of the range cabinet.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old range or other appliance.
• The power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at the range cabinet
with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended.
Grounding
• All ranges must be grounded for personal safety.
• All gas models have a power cord with an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug.
• The plug must be rmly plugged into a three-prong outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will decrease the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path for the electric current.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or loose wall outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter with this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut, modify, remove, or otherwise defeat the
grounding (third) prong from the power cord. If the plug and the outlet do not
match or you have any doubt, have a qualied electrician install the proper
outlet.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a
qualied electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are not required or recommended for
gas range receptacles.
• NEVER connect ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or water
pipes.
