The Three-Prong Outlet
The range cord has a three-prong plug and
must be plugged into a properly grounded
three-hole outlet. The outlet must be in a
standard 120 Volt, 60 Hertz AC household
circuit.
Do not under any circumstances
cut or remove the grounding prong
from the range cord. Failure to
provide proper polarization may
cause shock and fire hazard.
Improper grounding can affect spark ignition
on models so equipped.
If you do not have a grounded three-hole
outlet, have an electrician change your old
outlet or install a new one.
To temporarily use a properly polarized and
grounded two-hole outlet until a grounded
three-hole outlet can be installed, a
grounding adapter plug may be used. Have
an electrician test the outlet to be sure it
meets requirements.

PREFERRED METHOD
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.
