Grounding IMPORTANT FOR PERSONAL BE PROPERLY (Please read carefully) SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE GROUNDED. MUST Preferred Method Eex_ilsstusrebperfoopreerugsreound Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong gunmding wall receptacle to minimize tile possibility oI electric shock ha/ard fi'om this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and drcuit checked by a qualified electridan to make sure the receptacle is propedy grounded. Where a smndaid 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the pel_onal responsibility and obligation (ff die customer to haw it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCFN, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD. A word about GFCI's--GFCI's axe not required or recommended for gas range receptacles. (;round Emit Circuit lnterruptel_ (GFCI's) are devices that sense leakage of current ill a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumei: Tile National Electrical Code requires tile use of GFCI's ill kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop smii_ces. Perfbmmnce of tile range will not be aflbcted ht opeiated on a GFCl-protected drcuit but occasional is possible. nuisance till)ping of tile GFCI breaker [] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.) A. Usage Situations where Applimlce Discomlected Infrequently, Power Cord will be An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. _,\]_ere local codes pemfit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a propedy grounded two-prong wall receptacle by tile use of a UIAismd adaptei; a\uilable at most hardware stores. The laiger slot in the adapter must be aligned with tile laiger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polaris," in tile com_ection of tile power cord.
