Installation Instructions
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.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION
Before placing range in the counter, check the
factory location of the stability device on the
back of the range. For convenience you can
hook the stability chain in the upper set of
holes. Make sure there is no structural
interference when using the upper set of holes.
Decide on a location
that has no electrical
wiring or plumbing.
With the long screw
provided anchor the
chain to the floor or wall.
Make sure the
screw is going
into the wall plate
or stud at the
base of the wall
at least 3/4″.
Attach the stability chain so that it lines up
with the bracket on the back of the range.
Tug the chain to make sure it is securely
fastened.
Take the packaging
tape and temporarily
attach the loose end
of the chain to the
rear of the countertop.
Slide the range
into the counter
leaving enough
space behind to attach
the chain to the bracket.

Installation Instructions
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 above
countertops. 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.
• The range may be placed with 0″ clearance
(flush) at the back wall and side walls if the
range side trims extend beyond the cabinet
fronts at least 1/4″.
• See Figures 1 and 2 for all rough-in and
spacing dimensions. These 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).

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION
(CONT.)

normal to have some slack in the chain,
but it should not be excessive.

(CONT.)
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 #JXS31
(white), JXS32 (chrome), JXS33 (almond),
JXS34 (black), or JXS35 (bisque) or a Main
Top Rear Filler Kit, Model # JXS62BB (black),
JXS63WW (white), JXS64AA (almond), or
JXS65CC (bisque). 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.
5
PREPARING THE COUNTER
(CONT.)
Determine the dimension of your cutout.
See Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. 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.
