120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated

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 circuit rating.

GROUNDED.
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.
A word about GFCI's – GFCI's are not required
or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit
and automatically switch off power when a
threshold leakage level is detected. These
devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCI's in kitchen receptacles installed
to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of
the range will not be affected if operated on a
GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance
