circuit breaker should be equal to the
marked current rating (amps) on the
appliance,
but not larger than the next
standard fuse or circuit breaker size. The
marked current rating is specified on the
model/serial
rating plate located on the
bottom of the
cookIop.
It is the personal responsibility and
