CONNECTIONS

Because of potential safety hazards

[]

under 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 is a UL
listed 3-wire grounding-type appliance

extension cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in amperes

is equivalent to or greater than the
branch circuit rating. Such extension
cords are obtainable through your local
appliance dealer.

IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS

APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED.

[] An adequate electrical supply and

outlet must be used to operate the
electrical parts of your range.

• The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug which must be used with a properly
grounded three-hole outlet with standard

120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household current.

• When 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 by a qualified electrician.

Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove grounding prong from the range
cord. Failure to provide proper ground
may create a hazardous condition.

[]

Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas
supply line in an easily accessible location.

[]

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

[]

Shut off gas supply before removing an
old range. Leave it off until hookup of
new range is finished.

[]

Because solid pipe restricts moving the
range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.
certified flexible metal appliance

connector.

WARNING: Never reuse old

flexible connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and personal

injury. Always use new flexible connectors
when installing a gas appliance.

[] Before making gas connections, make

sure that the oven shut-off lever (visible at

the back of range) is in the open position.

[] PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION
The maximum allowable supply pressure for

the regulator is 14" W.C. The minimum supply
pressure needed to check the regulator setting
is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for LP gas.

WARNING: The range and its

individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds
per square inch gauge). The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2
psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.

[] CHECK THE IGNITERS
Operation of the electric igniters should be

checked after the cool(top and supply line
have been carefully checked for leaks and the
cool(top has been connected to the electrical

power.
a. Turn on gas.

b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE

position.

• The burner valve should light when gas
is available to the burner.

= Once the burner lights, it should be

turned out of the LITE position.

c. Try each valve separately until all burners

have been checked.

[] BURNER IGNITION

Cool(top Spark Ignition--When you turn

the cool(top knob to LITE, the spark igniter

makes a series of electric sparks (ticking
sounds) which light the burner. During a
power failure the burners will not light
automatically. In an emergency, a cool(top
burner may be lit with a match by following

the steps below.

WARNING: Lighting gas burners

with a match is dangerous. You should match

light the cool(top burners only in an
emergency.

a. Light a match and hold the flame near the

burner you want to light. Wooden matches

work best.

b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.

Be sure you are turning the correct knob

for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within
five seconds, turn the knob off and wait five
minutes before trying again.

[] BURNER FLAMES
Turn each burner on. Turn each burner knob

to the high position. Flames should be blue

in color with little or no trace of yellow. The
burner flames should not flutter or blow away

from the burner. The inner cone of the flame
should be between 1/2" and 3/4" long. If the

burner flames are yellow in color or not the
proper length, call GE Service.

If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets

cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4"

insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not
less than 0.0122" thick.

[] OPERATION CHECKLIST

• Double check to make sure everything in
this guide has been completed. Rechecking

steps will ensure safe use of the cooktop.

• Make sure all controls are left in the OFF

position.

• Make sure the flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the cooktop is unobstructed.

• The serial plate for your Range is located

under the oven door above the storage
area. In addition to the model and serial

numbers, it tells you the ratings of the
burners and the type of fuel and pressure

the cooktop was adjusted for when it left
the factory.

• When ordering parts, always include the

serial number and model number to ensure
proper replacement parts.

• Recheck Steps: Double check to make sure

everything in this guide has been completed.
Rechecking steps will ensure safe use of

the Range.

Please see L.P. conversion instructions
supplied with this range when L.P. Gas

is used.

NOTE: Instructions are mounted on

regulator bracket.

IN SOME CASES

[] With L.P. gas, some yellow tipping

on the outer cone is normal.

[] Foreign particles in the gas line may

cause an orange flame at first, but this
will soon disappear.

SPECIAL NOTE:
To convert the oven back to natural gas,

reverse the instructions given in making

L.P. Adjustments.

Once the conversion is complete
and checked ok, fill out the LP
sticker and include your name,
organization and the date the

conversion was made. Apply the sticker near
the regulator to alert others in the future that
this appliance has been converted to LP gas.

If converting back to natural gas from LP,

please remove the sticker so others know the

appliance is set to use natural gas.

Low setting adjustments must be made with
two other burners in operation on a medium

setting. This procedure prevents the low

flame from being set too low, resulting in the

flame being extinguished when other burners

are turned on.

[] Remove the valve control knobs.

[] Through the opening, locate the valve

bypass screw located on the lower right
side of the valves.

[] Using a small screwdriver, screw down

the bypass screw fully in a clockwise
rotation.
