Connecting Electricity
Electrical Requirements
120 Volt, 60 Hz, properly grounded dedicated
circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker,
or slow blow fuse.
If an external electrical source is utilized, the
appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, NFPA70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA
C22.1-02.
Grounding
WARNING
• For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• The customer should have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
• 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.
• Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
• Ensure proper ground
• Do not use an adapter plug. Disconnecting of
the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the
adapter ground terminal.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or, in
Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
exists before use.

NOTE
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
- GFCI's are not required or recommended for
gas range receptacles.
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) 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 GFCI's in kitchen
receptacles installed to serve countertop
surfaces.
- Performance of the range will not be affected
if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but the
occasional resetting of the circuit can become
an annoyance.
Surface Burners
