ing instructions are not completely under­

appliance is properly grounded.

cord with your oven, but if you find it neces­
sary to do so temporarily (until a properly

tacle is installed), use only a heavy duty UL

containing three 16-gauge (minimum) cop­
per wires. It must not be longer than 10 feet

ing performance of your oven). The plug on
