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:

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.
•
W
all 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
ne
eded
,
allow
at least
30 in. (76.2 cm) between the cooking surface
and the cabinet
bottom
.
