    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

    FOR YOUR SAFETY:

    WARNING - Iftheinformationinthis manual is not followed exactly, a fire,explosion or gas leak may result causingproperty damage, personal injury or death.

    Do not store or use gasoline or otherflammable vapors and liquids in the vicinityof this or any other appliance!

    WHAT TO DO iF YOUSMELL GAS:

    • Do not try to light any appliance. Do nottouch any electrical switch; do not use anyphone in your building.

    • Immediately call your gas supplier from aneighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier'sinstructions.

    • If you cannot reach your gas supplier,call the fire department.

    Installation and service must be performedby a qualified installer, service agency orthe gas supplier.

    This range has been design certified byUNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES for use inthe United States and Canada. You'll find

    safety precautions in your Owner's Manual.Read them carefully.

    • Installation of this range must conform withlocal codes or in the absence of local codeswith the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1-Latest edition.

    Be sure your range is installed properly bya qualified installer or service technician.

    To eliminate reaching over surface burners,cabinet storage above burner should beavoided,

    • Do not install the unit near an outside dooror where a draft may affect its use,

  • Installation instructions

    FOR YOUR SAFETY:

    WARNING - For personal safety,remove house fuse or open circuit breakerbefore beginning installation. Failure to do socould result in serious injury or even death.

    All rough-in and spacing dimensions must bemet for safe use of your range. Electricity tothe range can be disconnected at the outletwithout moving the range if the outlet is inthe preferred location (remove lower drawer).

    To reduce the risk of burns or fire when

    reaching over hot surface elements, cabinetstorage space above the cooktop should beavoided. If cabinet storage space is to beprovided above the cooktop, the risk can bereduced by installing a range hood that sticksout at least 5" beyond the front of thecabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktopmust be no deeper than 13".

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

    ANTI-TIP DEVICE

    AWARNING - Toreducetheriskof tipping, the appliance must be secured byproperly installed Anti-Tip bracket packedwith this appliance.

    To check if the bracket is installed and

    engaged properly, carefully tip the rangeforward. The anti-tip bracket should engageand prevent the range from tipping over.

    WARNING -• All ranges can tip

    • Injury to persons could result

    • Install Anti-]3p bracket packedwith range

    • See Installation Instructions

    If you pull the range out and away from thewall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tipbracket is engaged when the range is pushedback against the wall.

    ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTSThis appliance must be supplied with theproper voltage and frequency and connectedto an individual, properly grounded branchcircuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fusehaving amperage as noted on the ratingplate. (Rating plate is located above thestorage drawer below the oven frame).

    We recommend you have the electrical wiringand hookup of your range connected by aqualified electrician. After installation, havethe electrician show you where your mainrange disconnect is located.

    Check with your local utilities for electricalcodes which apply in your area. Failure towire your range according to governingcodes could result in a hazardous condition.

    If there are no codes, your range must bewired and fused to meet the requirements ofthe National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-Latest edition. You can get a copy bywriting:

    National Fire Protection Association

    Batterymarch Park

    Quincy, MA 02269

    Effective January 1, 1996, the NationalElectrical Code requires that new, but notexisting, construction utilize a four-conductorconnection to an electric range. Wheninstalling an electric range in newconstruction, a mobile home, recreationalvehicle or an area where local codes prohibitgrounding through the neutral conductor,follow the instructions in the section on NEWCONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTORBRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.

    In Canada your range must be wiredand fused to meet the requirements of theCanadian Electrical Code.

    You must use a three-wire, single-phaseA.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertzelectrical system.

    PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

    [_ iNSPECT iNSTALLATiONLOCATION

    Refer to alternate construction section forthe following non-standard installations.

    [] Counter opening extends to the wall:

    Maintop Filler (supplied with therange.) (See page 15 for InstallationInstructions) or

    Backguard (Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS).

    [] Counter height greater than 36-3/4":

    Lower Trim Slide-In (Kit JXS56XX).

    [] One side is not enclosed by a cabinet:

    Bodyside (Kit JXS76XX).

    [] Island Installation:

    To provide an optimum installation, thetop surface of the countertop must belevel and flat (lie on the same plane)around the 3 sides that are adjacent torange cooktop. Proper adjustments tomake the top flat should be made orgaps between the countertop andrange cooktop may occur. Forcing thecooktop to fit may cause excessivegaps and could break the glass andvoid the warranty.

    To obtain Kits:

    a. Visit GE Web Site (See page 1)

    b. Call GE Answer Center (See page 1)c. Contact Dealer

    _-I MOVE RANGE INDOORS INFRONT OF CABINET OPENING

    Do not use hand trucks when moving theunpackaged range. Cooktop glass may bebroken.

    _-I PROTECT THE KITCHENFLOOR

    Flatten and place a piece of the shippingcarton in front of the installation location to

    protect the flooring.

    NOTE: Do not remove the protectivechannel from the sides of the glass cooktop,if applicable, until later in the installation.

    CAUTION: Theelectrodeofthespark igniter is exposed. Be careful not tosnag the electrode of the spark igniter witha cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter couldoccur. Be careful not to turn on any cooktopcontrols while cleaning. A slight electricalshock might result, which could cause youto knock over hot cookware.

    FOR GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOPS

    a. Place the burner head on the burner base,so that the pins match up with the slots onthe base.

    b. Position the burner cap on the burner head.

    c. Place the burner grate over the burnerassembly. The grates fit over the raisedarea on the burner head.

    [] CHECK FOR LEAKS

    Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid leakdetector (soap solution) at all joints andconnections to check for leaks. Do not use an

    open flame to look for leaks. Be sure all leaksare stopped before lighting burners.

    [] PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION

    The maximum allowable supply pressurefor the regulator is 14" W.C, The minimumsupply pressure needed to check the regulatorsetting is 7" W.C, for natural gas and 10" W.C,for LP gas.

    -&WARNING: The range and itsindividual shut-off valve must be disconnectedfrom the gas supply piping system during anypressure testing of the gas supply system attest pressures of more than 1/2 psig (poundsper square inch gauge). The range must beisolated from the gas supply piping systemby closing its individual shut-off valve duringany pressure testing of the gas supply systemat test pressures equal to or greater than1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.

    INSTALL THE RANGE (CONT.)

    [] CHECK THE IGNITERS

    Operation of the electric igniters should bechecked after the cooktop and supply linehave been carefully checked for leaks and thecooktop has been connected to the electricalpower.

    a. Turn on gas.b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE

    position.

    • The burner valve should light when gasis available to the burner.

    • Once the burner lights, it should beturned out of the LITE position.

    c. Try each valve separately until all burnershave been checked.
