Electrical Shock Hazard
It is the customer’s responsibility:
l To contact a qualified electrical
installer.
l To assure that the electrical installation
is adequate and in conformance with
National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA
70 - latest edition*, and all local
codes and ordinances.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
Personal Injury Hazard
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire,
avoid installing cabinet storage above
the cooking surface. If cabinets are
already installed, reduce the hazard of
reaching over a heated cooking surface
by installing a range hood.
The range hood should extend a
minimum of 5 inches out from the
bottom front of the cabinets.
Reaching over a heated cooking
surface could result in a serious burn.

Electrical Shock Hazard
l Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
1 l Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in an electrical shock.
l Check with a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.

serial/rating plate) isrequired on a
separate circuit, fused on both sides of
the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. The fuse size
must not exceed the circuit rating of the
appliance as specified on the
serial/rating plate. The serial/rating plate

flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed cable (with copper grounding
wire).
E n The flexible armored cable
extending from the applaince should be
connected directly to the junction box.
Locate the junction box to allow two to
three of slack in the cable between the
junction box and the appliance so that
the range can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary. Do Not cut the conduit.
