Gas Models; Grounding - Samsung NY58J9850WS Installation Manual

Gas models

• Canada gas models are equipped with a
power cord with an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
(The power cord is not provided in US
model.)
• A 240-Volt, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical
service with 40-amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse is required for all U.S. and
Canadian models.

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.

• 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.
• 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.
