EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying
rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent
to or greater than the branch circuit rating.
Such extension cords are obtainable through
your local appliance dealer.
IMPORTANT:
(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND
OUTLET
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must
be used to operate the electrical parts of your
cooktop.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which must be used with a properly
grounded 3-hole outlet with a standard
120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household current.
If you do not have a 3-hole grounded
outlet, have a qualified electrician
change your old one.
A grounding adaptor will be needed
to convert the old one until the outlet
can be replaced. This method is only
temporary, and a qualified electrician
should test it to be sure it meets
requirements.

TWO-PRONG WALL
RECEPTACLE
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove grounding prong from the cooktop
cord. Failure to provide proper polarization
may create a hazardous condition.
