GROUNDING

IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

PREFERRED

METHOD

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The power cord of this appliance should be equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to reduce the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified technician to be sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When connecting the cord of this cooktop to a standard two-prong wall receptacle, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word about Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters –

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters 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 customer.

The National Electrical Code requires the use of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the cooktop will not be affected if

it is operated from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters protected circuit but occasional nuisance can occur.
