ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A
Usage Situations where Appliance
Power Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp
circuit. Do not use an adapter 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 adapter,
available at most hardware stores. The larger
slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide
proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
TEMPORARY METHOD
Align large
prongs/slots
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. 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
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter 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.

B
Usage Situations where Appliance
Power Cord will be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter 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.
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.
Electric Disconnect
1. Locate disconnect plug on the range back.
2. Pinch sides of connector and pull out of
range back.
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 occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.
