Installation Instructions
Installation---Electrical C onnections
Because of potential safety hazards,
under 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.
Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local appliance dealer.
i[ MPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR 1!
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE 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 grounding prong from the
cooktop cord. Failure to provide proper
polarization may create a hazardous
condition.
_--_An adequate electrical supply and outlet
must be used to operate the electrical
parts of your cooktop.
a. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug which must be used with a properly
grounded three-hole outlet with a standard
120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household current.
b. If you do not have a three-hole grounded
outlet, have a qualified electrician change
your old one.
c. A grounding adaptor will be needed to
convert the old one until the outlet can be
replaced. This method is only temporary,
and a qualified electrician should test it to
be sure it meets requirements.
Insure proper
ground and
firm connection
before use
