•
Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments or accessories while using the range.

Keep flammable items away from the cooktop burners.

Electrical and Grounding Safety
• Do not use a damaged plug, cord, or loose power outlet, and do not alter the plug, cord, or outlet.
• Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
•
Use a dedicated 240 Vac, 60 Hz, 50 Amp breaker for the 48” range, a 30 Amp breaker for the 36” range, and
a 30 Amp breaker for the 30" range. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker should be used. Plug only the range

If a power cord is attached to the range, it must be inserted in a grounded, 3- or 4-prong outlet that meets
local ordinances. If codes allow a separate ground wire, a qualified electrician should determine its path. Do
not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing/gas lines, or hot-water pipes.

Electrical service to the range must follow local codes, or in their absence, the US National Electrical code/
NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision or, in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
