IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be used
to operate the electrical parts of your cooktop.
1. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which must be
used with a properly grounded three-hole outlet
with a standard 120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household
current.
2. If you do not have a three-hole grounded outlet,
have a qualified electrician change your old one.
3. A grounding adaptor will be needed to convert the
old one until the outlet can be replaced. This method
is only temporary, and a qualified electrician should
test it to be sure it meets requirements.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encoun-
tered, 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
grounding prong from cooktop cord. Failure
to provide proper polarization may create a

hazardous condition.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE
POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED IN-
FREQUENTLY.
For 15 amp circuit only. Do not use an adaptor on a 20
amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed
adaptor available at most hardware stores. The larger
slot in the adaptor must be aligned with the large slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.

not ground the appliance unless the screw is
metal, and not insulated, and the wall recep-
tacle is grounded through the housewiring. The customer
should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adaptor,
always hold the adaptor with one hand. If this is not
done the adaptor ground terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE
POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations because
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on
the adaptor and leads to eventual failure of the adaptor
ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
