Installation Instructions
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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
IMPORTANT--(Pleoseread carefully)
FORPERSONAL SAFETY, THISAPPLIANCEMUST
BEPROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
E_lsure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-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 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word obout GFCIs- GFCIs ore not required or
recommended for gos ronge receptocles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) a re devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level isdetected.
Thesedevices must be manually reset by the consumer.
The National ElectricalCode requiresthe use of GFCIsin
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 tripping of
the GFCIbreaker is possible.

A. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will Be
Disconnected Infrequently.
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 CONNECTIONmay be made to a
properly grounded 2-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
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
^_CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and 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 isvery likely to break
with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
