IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY

-4,WARNING: Forpersonalsafety,

remove house fuse or open circuit breaker
before beginning installation. Failure to do
so could result in serious injury or death.

• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range.

• 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
protrudes at least 5" beyond the front of

the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the
cooktop must be no deeper than 13".

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

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 noted on rating plate.
(Rating Plate is located behind the oven
door on the range.)

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 range 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, ANSl/NFPA No. 70i

Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor
connection to an electric range. When
installing an electric range in new construction,
a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area
where local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral conductor, 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.

Installation Instructions

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Move Range Indoors In Front of Cabinet

Opening

• Protect the kitchen floor! Flatten and place

a piece of the shipping carton in front of the •

installation location to protect the flooring. •

• Inspect Installation Location
Inspect cutout dimensions and location

of electrical junction box to be sure it fits
within the layout location. See page 4.

Refer to alternate construction section for

the following non-standard installations.
a. Counter opening extends to the wall:

Maintop Filler Kit (JXS66XX), or

Backguard Kit (JXS32XX).

WARNING: If you do not use these kits,
the anti-tip bracket must fit under an

attachment to the wall that can withstand •
a force of 200 Ibs. in the upward direction.

See Step 1 under INSTALL THE RANGE.

b. Island Installation:

To provide an optimum installation, the
top surface of the countertop 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
cooktop may occur. Forcing the cooktop
to fit may cause excessive gaps.

To obtain Kits:
a. Visit GE Web Site (See page 1)

b. Call GE Answer Center (See page 1)
c. Contact Dealer

installation of the product, but is an added

convenience. To remove the door:

Open the oven door as far as it will go.
