Electrical Connection Requirements

!
To avoid the risk of serious electrical shock or property
damage, do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power plug. A 3-wire grounded conductor
system must be used. Relying on the flexible
connector, hard piping or any other part of the gas
supply line as a ground may cause fire, electrical
shock and/or erratic control operation.
Range must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest
Edition.
In Canada, electrical connections are to made in
accordance with CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
All electrical connections are to be made in accordance
with CSA standards Z240.6.1 electrical requirements for
mobile homes.
Use a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 3-prong receptacle protected by
a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. A qualified
electrician should confirm the outlet is properly grounded.
If a 2-prong outlet is encountered, range owner must
replace outlet before using range. Do not cut off cord, use
