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).
