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 Fig. 19). Improper grounding will cause malfunc tion (such as continuous sparking of the burner igniters), may damage this appliance, and could create a condition of shock hazard at the igniter of each burner. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded receptacle 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. THE THIRD GROUND PRONG SHOULD NOT,

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CUT OR REMOVED.

Alternate Grounding Method - All-Gas

If installing a properly grounded wall receptacle is impossible at the time of installation, consult your local electrical inspector for permission to connect a temporary adapter (with polarized blades) which could be plugged into your present 2-wire receptacle.

(See Fig. 20). This method is not recommended.

If this is done, you must attach the lug and/or the green adapter wire to the receptacle cover plate screw. Ground from it to a grounded metal cold water pipe. (See Fig. 21).

DO NOT GROUND TO A GAS SUPPLY PIPE.

Grounding Method - Dual-Fuel

Models PRDS304, PRDS36 and PRDS48

All ranges must be properly grounded. See the grounding instructions for your installation case, as follows. Refer also to the instructions and Figures on Pages 17 and 18.

CASE 1: Electrical Connection and Grounding with a 3 Conductor Power Supply (To be used when local codes permit grounding through the neutral.) Secure the neutral, grounded wire of the supply circuit to the neutral terminal of the NEMA 10-50R receptacle. Connect the L! (black) and the L2 (red) hot heads to the other terminals on the NEMA 10-50R receptacle. A separate ground wire is not required. Ensure that the house supply wires and all electrical connections meet the requirements of all applicable codes.
