Important Safety Instructions

Grounding Instructions

 

(electric ignition models only)

 Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug,

an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

 This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for

your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from
this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For maximum safety,
the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized
and properly grounded.

If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal
responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-
prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

The natural gas range is designed to allow for conversion to
Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) Gas.

If L.P. conversion is needed, contact your local appliance
dealer for assistance. The L.P. Conversion Kit may be
obtained from your appliance dealer  and should be installed
by a qualified service technician. Before installing the kit be
sure to follow the L.P. Installation Instructions carefully.

  Personal injury or death from electrical shock

may occur if the range is not installed by a qualified installer or
electrician.

 Any additions, changes or conversions required

in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by a qualified technician.

Conversion to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (or L.P. Gas)

See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged
with this range for complete installation and
grounding instructions.
