Step 5: Electrical
Requirements, Connection
and Grounding
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal
injury or death; verify electrical power is
turned off at the service panel and gas supply
is turned off until the rangetop is installed and
ready to operate.
CAUTION:
Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause
malfunction (such as continuous sparking of the burner
igniters). This can damage the appliance and can create
a condition of shock hazard. If the circuit is not correctly
grounded and polarized, it is the responsibility and
obligation of the installer and user to have the existing
receptacle changed to a properly grounded and
polarized receptacle. This must be accomplished in
accordance with all applicable local codes and
ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of
local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement
shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code.
(See Figure 11.)
•
Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
•
Always disconnect appliance from the electric supply
either by disconnecting power cord or shutting off the
breaker at the service panel before servicing the
appliance.
•
Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
•
All 120 Volt rangetop models must be plugged into a
mating 3-Prong, Grounding-Type Receptacle. The
receptacle must be connected to a properly grounded
and polarized electrical power supply rated at 120VAC,
Single Phase, 60HZ. See "Electrical Power Supply
Over-current Protection Requirements" for proper over-
current protection requirements for each model.
•
Observe all governing codes and ordinances when
grounding. In the absence of these codes or
ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 current issue. See Figure 11 for
recommended grounding method.

•
An electrical wiring diagram and schematic have been
attached to the back of the rangetop chassis for access
by a qualified service technician. Do not remove or
discard this important information.
Grounding Method
The rangetop is factory equipped with a power supply cord
with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel
blades).
IT MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A MATING, GROUNDING
TYPE RECEPTACLE THAT IS CONNECTED TO A
CORRECTLY POLARIZED 120 VOLT CIRCUIT (See
Figure 11).
