Electrical Requirements - Whirlpool SELF-CLEANING SLIDE-IN GAS RANGES Manual

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path
is adequate.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure range is grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere, fused
electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. It is rec-
ommended that a separate circuit serving only
this range be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide
voltage limits, but proper grounding and polar-
ity are necessary. In addition to checking that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is cor-
rectly grounded, the outlet must be checked
by a qualified electrician to see if it is wired
with correct polarity.
The wiring diagram is included in the literature
package. The wiring diagram can also be found
on the back of the range.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Note: The metal chassis of the range MUST
be grounded in order for the control panel to
work. If the metal chassis of the range is not
grounded, NO keypads will operate. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the metal chassis of range is
grounded.
Recommended ground method
For personal safety, this range is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3-prong ground
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong,
ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70—latest edition* or CSA Standard C22.1,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1,—latest edi-
tion** and all local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
