Installation requirements
Grounding
• All ranges must be grounded for personal safety.
• All gas models have a power cord with an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
• The plug must be firmly plugged into a three-prong
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
decrease the risk of electrical shock by providing a
path for the electric current.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or loose wall outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter with this
appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut, modify, remove, or otherwise defeat the
grounding (third) prong from the power cord. If the plug and the outlet do not
match or you have any doubt, have a qualified electrician install the proper
outlet.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters(GFCIs) are not required or recommended for
gas range receptacles.
•
NEVER
connect ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or water pipes.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected
frequently
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the
power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure
of the adapter ground terminal. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
Additional installation requirements for mobile homes
The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform
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 is not applicable, 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 be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA
Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
