FOR YOUR SAFETY:
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.

DOOR REMOVAL (optional)
Door removal is not a requirement for
installation of the product, but is an added
convenience. To remove the door:
Open the oven door as far as it will go.
Push both hinge
locks down toward
the door frame
to the unlocked
position. This may
require a flat blade
screwdriver.
DO NOT LIFT THE DOOR BY THE HANDLE!
Place hands on both sides of
the door, and close the oven
door to the removal position.
This is half way between the
broil stop and fully closed.
Lift door up and out until the hinge arms
clear the slots.
NOTE: The oven door is very heavy. Be sure
you have a firm grip before lifting the oven
door off the hinges. Use caution once the
door is removed. Do not lay the door on its
handle. This could cause dents or scratches.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES
• The distance from the floor to the top
of the counter must be at least 35-7/8″.
The maximum counter height is 38″.
• 30″ ranges conform to U.L. requirements
for 0″ spacing from vertical walls below
countertops. Allow 1/4″ minimum clearance
at the back wall above the countertop.
However, some kitchen cabinet finishes can
be damaged by heat from the range surface
elements. Where varnished wood or plastic
film finishes are used, a minimum clearance
of 6″ must be maintained.
• For listed over-the-range microwave
ovens, the microwave ovens can be installed
above the cooktop as per manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range. The location
of the electrical outlet may be changed as
needed, but electricity to the range can be
disconnected at the outlet without moving the
range if the outlet is in the suggested location
(remove lower drawer).
Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and
cabinets around the cooktop can withstand the
heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range.

PREPARATION
• Remove all tape and packaging. Be sure to
remove clear plastic film that covers some
chrome parts (around glass oven doors,
side trim) and any tape and packaging from
inside the oven.
• Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
• Check to be sure that no range parts have
come loose during shipping.
REMOVING PACKAGING
MATERIAL
Any packaging materials must
be removed during installation.
This will include adhesive tape, wire ties,
cardboard and protective plastic. Failure
to remove these materials could result in
damage to the appliance once the appliance
has been turned on and surfaces have
heated.

PREPARE THE COUNTER
If you have an existing 30″ wide cutout that
goes all the way to the wall, you have the
option to buy a 4″ Backguard, Model
#JXS32XX or a Main Top Rear Filler Kit,
Model #JXS66XX. These kits are available
through your GE dealer, if the existing cutout
is in a counter that has a backsplash (postformed top) we recommend that you use the
4″ backguard kit.
4
PREPARING THE COUNTER
(CONT.)
Determine the dimension of your cutout.
Dimensions given are from front of counter
and not from cabinet face. To minimize
chipping you may want to apply masking
tape to the counter and mark the cut on top
of the tape. Use a hand or saber saw to make
the cut. For best appearance it is important
that the cut be smooth and straight.
If you are NOT using the Filler or Backguard:
If you have a countertop deeper than 25″
and you wish to set the range further back
into the counter, the cutout may be cut
deeper (up to 24-1/2″), but there must be
at least 24-1/2″ from the front edge of the
countertop and back wall.
