A word about GFCIs - GFCIs are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when o threshold leakage level is
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the
use of GFCIs in kitchen receptacles installed to serve
countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not
be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but
occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker is
possible.
