IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

WARNING:

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”.

For personal

WARNING:

risk of tipping, the appliance must

be secured by properly installing the Anti-Tip bracket packed with the appliance.

To reduce the

WARNING

• All ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

• Install anti-tip bracket

packed with range

• See Installation Instructions

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.

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

Installation Instructions

Pre-Installation Checklist

Inspect Installation Location

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 15, section AA, for Installation Instructions) or

Backguard (Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS). See page 15.

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 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 and could break the glass and void the warranty.

To obtain 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. Cooktop glass may be broken.)

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 the installation.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety ,

do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

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.

Rating Plate Location

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

Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4wire connection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system.

If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1-3/8″ diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

• Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then to Step 6 or 7.

• On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.
