INSTALLING THE COOKTOP

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
120-volt, 60-Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.
EXTENSION CORD CAUTIONS
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the
current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent
to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.
GROUNDING
(Please read carefully.)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.

Installation Instructions
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not use
an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed
adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in
the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
Temporary Method
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Align large prongs/slots
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, not
insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the
adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
