WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• Plug the appliance into 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, power 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 for this appliance.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Do not plug more than one
appliance into this circuit.
•
Do not connect
the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• This appliance
must be Earth grounded
. If the appliance malfunctions or breaks down,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the current.
This appliance’s power cord has a grounding plug, which must be firmly plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded according to local regulations. If you
are not sure your electrical outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a licensed
electrician.
• The appliance is supplied with a 3-pronged grounded plug. This cord must be plugged
into a mating, grounded 3-prong outlet that meets all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit the use of a separate ground wire, we recommend that a qualified
electrician determine the proper path for this ground wire.
• Electrical service to the range must conform to local codes. Barring local codes,
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 appliance owner shall ensure that the proper electrical service is provided for the
appliance.
