For your personal safety, this cooktop must be grounded. This cooktop is equipped
with a 3-prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition or Canadian Electrical Code
(CSA) and local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the per-
sonal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly polarized and
grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
