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.
