Wiring

It is good service practice to never route wiring over
terminals and/or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring
without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire installation
material and thickness is designed and regulated for
electrical spacing purpose only, but can not always be
relied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions
which can occur during servicing.

cords will adversely affect the performance of spark
system. If the product power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician install a three slot receptacle.

Grounding

The power cord on this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug. This matches standard
three-prong grounding wall receptacle to prevent
possibility of electric shock from this appliance.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or
death, make sure your cooktop has been properly
grounded and polarized. Always disconnect it from
main power supply before any servicing.

are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the equipment is properly grounded.
