^ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external
switches that shut off power to the appliance are not
recommended for this product.
Grounding
A warning
Shock Hazard:
This appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to
do so can result in electric shock.
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.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD.
A word about GFCIs - GFCIs are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the
use of GFCIs 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.
