WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas
or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Have your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be

performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.

grounding prong from the plug. If indoubt
about the grounding of the home electrical

system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet

replaced with a properly grounded,

three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use

an extension cord with this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFOR/V/AT/ON.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.

Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should

the packaging material ignite.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation

of the range section.

WARNING:Theseadjustments

must be made by o qualified service
technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having

jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the

conversion.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or

linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.

They could be seriously burned.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or

hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: Itemsofinterest

above o range or on the bocksplosh

of a rangeichildren climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.

Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Becareful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

o range drawer or near o cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan sizelavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can
be easil_lgrasped and remain cool.

Always use the L/TE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boiloverscause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the

cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

Use only dry pot holders- moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holder.

When using glass cookware, make sure

it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is

placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.

Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowly.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are

at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of

the range.
When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make

sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the

range isturned on

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

LOWEROVEN DRAWER

The purpose of the warm setting of the lower
oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at

serving temperature. Always start with hot
food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked

using the warm setting of the lower oven

drawer.

Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.

Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your drawer.

Do not warm food in the drawer for more

than two hours.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Do not touch the heating element or
the interior surface of the drawer. These

surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER:The inside surface of the drawer
may be hot when the drawer is opened.

Use care when opening the drawer. Open the
drawer a crack and let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.
Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset

the performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

COOK HEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry
to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of 180°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

SELF-CLEANING THE UPPER OVEN

Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any
broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware,

probe and any aluminum foil.
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.
The gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be

cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

6

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

isessential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power

supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind should

be used in or around any part of the oven.

Residue from oven cleaners will damage the

inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle

is used.

UPPEROVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Do notuse theoven fora storagearea.
Itemsstoredintheoven can ignite.

Keep theoven freefromgreasebuildup.
Placetheoven racksinthedesiredposition

whiletheoven iscool.

Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest

position is not designed to slide.
Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

WARNING: NEVERcoverany

slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such

as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage

to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.

Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.
Always remove any broiler pan from range as

soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.

When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups.

Hake sure any broiler pan isin place correctly

to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

it burns out.
For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

cblcle,press the BAKEpod and then the

number pads to get the new temperature.

[] Touch the BAKEpad.
I_] Touch the number padsto set the

desiredtemperature.

I_] Touch the STARTpad.

[] Checkfood for doneness at minimum

time on recipe.Cooklonger if necessary.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven if the recipe callsfor it.
To preheat, set the ovenat the correct

temperature. Preheatingis necessary

when convection baking and for good

resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom of
the oven.

Neverentirely cover a rackwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking.

Oven Moisture

Asyour oven heats up,the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

These droplets are harmless and will

evaporate asthe oven continues to heat up.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placingit on a lower rack several

Asa result,foodsare evenlycookedand

Thisis normal.

To help gou understand the difference

between convection bake and roast and
traditional bakeand roast, here are some
general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven-
Preheating and Pan Placement section.

Idealfor foods cooked on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet

rolls,angel food cakeand bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated

air evenlg over and around the food.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.

The convection fun circulates the heated air

evenlg over and around the food. Meat and
poultrg are browned on all sides as iftheg

were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will
be circulated over, under and around the

food being roasted. The heated air seals in

juices quicklg for a moist and tender product

while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on rack
position IA).

When gouoreconvection roosting,it is

important that gou useo broiler pan and grid

for bestconvection roosting results.The pan

Beforeusing your convection oven,check

to see ifyour cookware leavesroom for air
circulation inthe oven.Ifyou are baking with

several pans, leavespacebetween them.
Also,be surethe pans do not touch each

other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers

that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be usedin convection ovens.

Plasticcookware that is heat-resistant to

temperatures of 400°Fcan also be used,
when oven isbelow 400°F.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work inyour
convection oven. However,metal pans heat

the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.

Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake

fasterthan shing pans.

Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowlg.

When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you usea flat cookiesheetinstead

of a panwith low sides.
Forrecipeslikeoven-baked chicken,

usea pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with

high sides.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If bloustill think your new oven istoo hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocerbl stores, to check the temperature setting of blour oven.

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If blou
decrease the fat, the recipe mabl not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Lowfat spreads,on the

other hand,contain lessfat and more water.The high moisture content of these spreadsaffects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. Forbestresultswith your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stickspreadscontaining at least70%

Burner Grates

Yourrange hasthree professional-styledouble
grates.Thesegratesareposition-specific.

Formaximum stability,thesegratesshould

only be used in their proper positions.For
convenience,the undersidesof the sidegrates

are marked "OUTSIDE."Hake surethe front
portion of both grates isinfront.Thecenter

grate can be interchangedfront to back.

Cleaning Grates--Soup and Water

Liftgrates out when cool. Grates should be

washed regularly and, of course,after
spillovers.Wash them in hot,soapy water

and rinsewith clean water. When replacing
the grates, be surethey are positioned

securely over the burners.Replacethe grates
sothat straight lines are formed

with the center ribsof all three grates.

Cleaning Grates--Self-Clean Oven
To get rid of burned-on food, you may use

the self-clean cycle of your range. Remove
any burnt-on food particlesthat you can

prior to placing the grates in the oven. Place
the gray porcelain-coated racks in positions

"R","B"and "D".
NOTE:Donot dean thegriddle in the

self-cleaningoven.
Placeonegrate each on the oven racks

from sideto side.Followthe instructions
for how to set the upperoven for cleaning.

NOTE:Use caution when removing the grates
from the oven offer the self-cleon cyde has
ended. The grates may still be hot.

For heavily-soiled grates, you may notice
some white ash on the grate. Wipe it off

with a damp cloth after the grate cools.

Neveruseknivesor cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water aftereach use.
Storecarefully to prevent scratching.

Griddle Precautions:

Ifsomething has spilled under the griddle it
should be deaned up as soon as possible to
prevent "baked on" food soil.

Donot allow grease to accumulate under

thegriddleas it can be o firehazard.Clean

under thegriddleas soonas it is cool.Cleon

with hot soapy water.

Donot placeyour griddle in the microwave.

, Always turn off oilsurface burnersbefore

removing thegriddle. Usecaution when

handling o hotgriddle.

If white spots remain, remove them
with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse

thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
Thesedepositsare usually a salt residuethat

cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

Cleaning Grates--Dishwasher

The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove any burnt-on food particles that you

can prior to placing the grates in the
dishwasher. Place them on the lowest rack of

the dishwasher and run ona "heavy duty"
cycle.

Do not operate a burner for an extended
period oftime without cookware on the grate.

Thefinishonthe grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.

Although the grates are durable, they will
gradually losetheir shine, regardlessof the

best care you can givethem. This isdue
to their continual exposureto high

temperatures and abrasion by the cookware.

Support Bumpers

If one or more of the circular silicone grate
support bumpers inthe cooktop are missing
or damaged, replacement parts can be
obtained by calling 1.800.GE.CARES.

Toinsertthe new bumpers,simply insert the

STAINLESSSTEELhas a reputation for
withstanding tough abuse for years.This isa

key reasonwhy it is sopopular with the food

service industry.

However,stainlesssteel appliances con have

surface imperfections,discolorationsor

blemishesthat consumerswith a critical eye
notice and find unattractive inthe home.

Thesediscolorations or blemishes can be
caused by something as simple as leaving

fingerprint smudges on the stainlesssteel
surface overnight.

Forstainless steel appliances where

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

• All ranges can tip.

• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.

• INSTALL and CHECKthe

ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range
must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. See installation instructions shipped
with the bracket for complete details before
attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged

properly, carefully tip the range forward. The

bracket should stop the range within 4 inches.
If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to
strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and con settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use core when moving the
range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that
the following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on o sheet of plywood

(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the
front of the range, the area that the range will rest on
should be built up with plywood to the some level or
higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning

or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

Moke surethewollcoveringsoroundyourrongecon
withstondtheheotgeneroted(upto200°F)by the

For free standing or slide in ranges, never
completely remove the leveling legs or the range
will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with

your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive

one at no cost (In Canada, call 1.800.561.33441

Installation Instructions

iTI PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas

(propane or butane), 10" of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is designed.

This range isconvertible for use on natural or

propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LPinstaller

before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied

to the regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water
column.

For LPgas, the pressure supplied must be between 10"
and 13" of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range

manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whether natural or LPgas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D.of 1/2"
and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,

flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors
no longer than 6 feet in length.

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supplg valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to
relight the pilot on other gas appliances when gou
turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSAInternational-certified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the

connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipejoint compound on, or wrap

pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.

A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line

in an easily accessed location outside of the range.

Make sure everyone operating the range knows where

and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

a.

Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup

wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove the
90° elbow for easier installation.

C.

Install male 1/2" or 5/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking
care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from

turning.

D.

Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit

connection at the shut-off valve.

E. When all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all

joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

WARNING: DONOTUSE

A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the

individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz,properly grounded dedicated circuit

protected by a 1S-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to

use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension

cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord
in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the

circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--IPlease read carefully)
FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCE MUSTBE

PROPERLYGROUNDED.

Preferred Method

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ICONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 1S-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
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

(Adapterplugsnotpermittedin Canada}

Align large prongs/slots

Ensureproperground

andfirm connection

beforeuse

Ensure proper ground

existsbefore use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from

this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUTOR REMOVETHE THIRD IGROUND) PRONG FROM

THE POWERCORD.

A word about GFCI°s- GFCI°sare 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 isdetected. These devices must be manually reset

by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCI'sin 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.

-ACAUTION: 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 isvery likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USEthe
appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

46

Installation Instructions

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

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 athree-prong
(grounding) receptacle bg 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

(formerlg 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),

ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,
mobile home installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
