18 INSTALLATION

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, ANSI/NFPA 70.

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.

Ensure proper ground 

exists before use

Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician 

to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

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.
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.

Seal any openings in the wall and floor after electrical 

and gas supplies are completed.
