[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch
circuit protected bg a 15-amp or 20-amp
circuit breaker or time delag fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safetg hazards
associated with certain conditions, we strongl U
recommend against the use of an extension
cord. However, if gou still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutelg necessarg that it
be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-tgpe appliance
extension cord and that the current carrging
rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to,
or greater than, the branch circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
Ensure 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 possibilitg of
electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked bg a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properlg
grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg
and obligation of the customer to have it
replaced with a properlg grounded 3-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 (GFCrs) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a
circuit and automaticallg switch off power
when a threshold leakage level is detected.
These devices must be manuallg reset bg the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCrs 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 tripping of the GFCI breaker
is possible.
[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Infrequentlg.
An adapter mag be used onlg on a
15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on
a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION mag be made
to a properlg grounded two-prong wall
receptacle bg 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 polaritg in the connection of the
power cord.

CAUTION
- Attaching the adapter

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 bg a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properlg grounded.
