Thermador P24WK - Manual (Page 13)

Step 5: Electrical Requirements,
Connection and Grounding
• Always disconnect appliance
electric supply cord from wall
receptacle before servicing
this appliance.
• All cooktop models must be
plugged into a mating 3-
Prong, Grounding-Type Re-
ceptacle. The receptacle
must be connected to a prop-
erly grounded and polarized
electrical power supply rated
at 120VAC, Single Phase,
60HZ. See list below for
proper over-current protec-
tion requirements for each
model.
CAUTION:
Im-
proper grounding or polar-
ization will cause malfunc-
tion (such as continuous
sparking of the burner ignit-
ers). This can damage the
appliance and can create a
condition of shock hazard. If
the circuit is not correctly
grounded and polarized, it is
the responsibility and obliga-
tion of the installer and user to
have the existing receptacle
changed to a properly
grounded and polarized recep-
tacle. This must be accom-
plished in accordance with all
applicable local codes and or-
dinances by a qualified electri-
cian. In the absence of local
codes and ordinances, the re-
ceptacle replacement shall be
in accordance with the National
Electric Code. (See Fig.11)
FIG. 11 Recommended
Grounding Method
• Observe all governing codes
and ordinances when
grounding. In the absence of
these codes or ordinances
observe National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
current issue. See Fig. 11 for
recommended grounding
method.
• An electrical wiring diagram
and schematic have been
attached to the bottom of the
cooktop chassis for access
by a qualified service techni-
cian. Do not remove or dis-
card this important informa-
tion.
Grounding Method
The cooktop is factory equipped
with a power supply cord with a
three-prong grounding plug (with
polarized parallel blades). IT
MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A
MATING, GROUNDING TYPE
RECEPTACLE THAT IS CON-
NECTED TO A CORRECTLY
POLARIZED 120 VOLT CIR-
CUIT. (See Fig. 11). Improper
grounding or polarization will
cause malfunction (such as con-
tinuous sparking of the burner
igniters), may damage this appli-
ance, and can create a condition
of shock hazard.
THE THIRD, GROUND
PRONG MUST NOT BE CUT
OR REMOVED UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES.
