Installation requirements
Rangetops
- All gas models are equipped with a power cord with an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
- All gas models in the US and Canada require a 120 V, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical
service with 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
NOTE
Re-ignition may malfunction if the voltage between Neutral and Ground is over 20 VAC.
Make sure the voltage is under 20 VAC.
Grounding
• All rangetops must be grounded for personal safety.
• The plug must be firmly inserted in a three-prong outlet that is properly installed
and grounded according to local codes. After a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
decreases the risk of electrical shock by providing the current a safe path.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or loose wall outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter with this appliance.
• Never cut, modify, remove, or otherwise defeat the plug's grounding (third) prong. If
the plug and outlet do not match or you have any doubt, have a qualified electrician
check the wall receptacle and circuit to ensure the receptacle is properly grounded and
install the proper outlet if needed.
• NEVER connect ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or water pipes.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions can cause fire, electrical shock, death.
Additional installation requirements for mobile homes
Installation of appliances designed for mobile-home use must comply 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 does not apply, 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 comply with the
current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
