Appliance Outlets (on some models) The 120-volt appliance outlet located on the control console may be used to run portable appliances placed on countertops beside the range. The outlet operates independently and is not affected by range control settings. NOTE: Do not place portable appliances on the cooktop. Damage to the portable appliance could result if the cooktop is hot. Appliance Outlet Circuit Breaker: The circuit breaker for the appliance outlet on your range is located next to the outlet. It is rated for 12 amps. If the circuit breaker trips, it can be reset by pressing the switch. A delay of several minutes may be required for the circuit breaker to cool before it will reset.
