gas models
•
All gas models are equipped with a power cord with an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
•
A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical service with or 20-amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse is required for all U.S. and Canadian models.
•
Check for ¾-in (1.9-cm) UL-listed strain relief where the power cord comes
out of the range cabinet.
•
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old range or other appliance.
•
The power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at the range cabinet
with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
•
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended.
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.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
CAUTION
Ensure proper
ground
and firm
connection
before use.
