10 INSTALLING THE RANGE

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REqUIREMENTS

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow blow
fuse.
If an external electrical source is used, 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, ANSI/NFPA 70.
GROUNDING
IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE 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.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
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.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI's – 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.
PREFERRED
METHOD
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
CAUTION
Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug. Disconnecting the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
The installation of appliances designed for mobile
home installation must conform with the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile
Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280)
or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI
A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile
home installation must be in accordance with the current
CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
WARNING
POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE
SERVICING THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

SEALING THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall and floor after electrical and
gas supplies are completed.
