Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and death:
•
Plug the appliance in to a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
•
Do not remove the ground prong.
•
Do not use an adapter or an extension cord.
•
Do not use a damaged power plug/cord, or loose power outlet.
•
Do not modify the power plug, cord, or outlet.
•
Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
•
Use a dedicated 120-volt, 60-Hz, 20-amp, AC, fused electrical circuit. A time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Plug only the rangetop into this circuit.
•
Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas, or hot-water lines.
•
The rangetop must be grounded. If it malfunctions, grounding provides a safe path for
the current. The rangetop’s grounding plug must be firmly plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded per local regulations. If you are unsure your outlet
is properly grounded, have it checked by a licensed electrician.
•
If codes allow a separate ground wire, a qualified electrician should determine the
proper path for this ground wire.
•
Electrical service to the rangetop must conform to local codes, in the absence of
which, it should meet the latest ANSI/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or
the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions.
•
The rangetop owner shall ensure that proper electrical service is provided.
