Important safety instructions
Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death:
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
•
Do not remove the grounding prong.
•
Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
•
Do not use a damaged 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. If the cooktop malfunctions, grounding reduces risk
of electric shock by providing a safe path for the current. This cooktop’s power cord
has a grounding plug, which must be firmly plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded per local regulations. If you are unsure the outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a licensed electrician.
•
If codes allow for a separate ground wire, you should have a qualified electrician
determine this wire’s proper path.
•
Electrical service to the cooktop must conform to local codes, or in their absence, 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 that the proper electrical service is provided for the cooktop.
