GROUNDING
IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
PREFERRED
METHOD
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance should be equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
reduce the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified technician to be sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
When connecting the cord of this cooktop to a
standard two-prong wall receptacle, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
A word about Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters –
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and
automatically switch off power when a threshold
leakage level is detected.
These devices must be manually reset by the
customer.
The National Electrical Code requires the use of
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters in kitchen
receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.
Performance of the cooktop will not be affected if it is
operated from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
protected circuit but occasional nuisance can occur.
