IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

WARNING: For personal safety remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death.

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range if the outlet is in the preferred location

(remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

tipping, the appliance must be secured by properly installing the anti-tip bracket packed with the appliance.

WARNING

• All ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

• Install anti-tip bracket

packed with range

• See Installation Instructions

Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located above the storage drawer on the oven frame.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Battery March Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical

Code requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND

FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT

CONNECTION.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.

208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

If you pull the range out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket is engaged when the range is pushed back against the wall.

Installation Instructions

Pre- Installation Checklist

Inspect Installation Location

Inspect cutout dimensions and location of receptacle to be sure it fits within layout location.(See page 5.)

Refer to alternate construction section for the following non standard installations.

a. Counter opening extends to the wall:

Maintop Filler (supplied with the range.)

(See Page 12 section AA for Installation

Instructions) or

Backguard (Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS).

See page 12.

b. Counter height greater than 36 3/4”:

Lower Trim Slide-In (Kit JXS56XX).

c. One side is not enclosed by a cabinet:

Bodyside (Kit JXS76XX).

d. Island Installation:

To provide an optimum installation, the top surface of the counter top must be level and flat (lie on the same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent to range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make the top flat should be made or gaps between the countertop and range cook top may occur. Forcing the cook top to fit may cause excessive gaps and could break glass and void warranty.

To Procure Kits: a. Visit GE Web Site, see page 1.

b. Call GE Answer Center, see page 1.

c. Contact Dealer

Move Range Indoors In front of Cabinet Opening

(Do not use hand trucks when moving the unpackaged range.)

Protect the kitchen floor! Flatten and place a piece of the shipping carton in front of the installation location to protect the flooring.

Do not remove the protective channel from the sides of the glass cooktop, if applicable, until later in installation.

Protective Channel

Adjust

Carefully, tilt the range to access the range leveling legs. Use an adjustable wrench to screw leveling legs out so that glass support flanges clear top of counter top.

Installation Instructions

Final Check List

Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (Reset) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

Be sure power is in service to the building.

Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape on metal panel (if applicable) under control knobs and drawer have been removed.

Operation Check List

Check to make sure the Clock display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.

Push down and turn any one of the four surface knobs to “MED” setting to observe that the element glows within 15 seconds. Turn the knob off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.

If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler piece supplied with the range to the back of the range as shown in the figure below. Start the 2 screws into the upper holes at the outside rear of the range above the louvers, through the slots in the trim, holding the filler piece centered on the maintop frame and pushing upward to close the gap between the bottom of the glass and the filler trim.

When the trim is set in the proper position tighten the 2 mounting screws. The top of the trim should be located below the top surface of the glass to prevent pots, pans and skillets from damaging the painted parts.

Refer to the Standard Installation of the Range beginning on page 3.

Island Installation

Attach the anti-tip bracket per instructions in section D making sure that the rear of the bracket is 25” from the front of the countertop.

Beware that the screws provided are long and may penetrate through the back of the island cabinets. In this event, use shorter screws (not provided) or the screws provided should be used in the floor, (See

Section D for Wood/Concrete Floor Installation). Do not

use Backguard Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS.

For Cabinet Openings

Approximately 30-3/8”

If range is installed in cabinet opening approximately
