IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY

WARNING: For personal safety,remove house fuse or open circuit breakerbefore beginning installation. Failure to doso could result in serious injury or death.

• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must bemet for safe use of your range.

• To reduce the risk of burns or fire whenreaching over hot surface elements, cabinetstorage space above the cooktop should beavoided. If cabinet storage space is to beprovided above the cooktop, the risk canbe reduced by installing a range hood thatsticks out at least 5" beyond the front ofthe cabinets. Cabinets installed above thecooktop must be no deeper than 13".

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

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This 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 rating plate.(Rating Plate is located behind the ovendoor on the range.)

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 governing codescould result in a hazardous condition. If thereare no local codes, your range must be wiredand fused to meet the requirements of theNational Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70--Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection AssociationBatterymarch ParkQuincy, 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 new construction,a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an areawhere local codes prohibit grounding throughthe neutral conductor, follow the instructionsin the section on NEW CONSTRUCTIONAND FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUITCONNECTION.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electricalsystem. If you connect to aluminum wiring,properly installed connectors approved foruse with aluminum wiring must be used.

Installation Instructions

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Move Range Indoors In Front of CabinetOpening

• Protect the kitchen floor! Flatten and placea piece of the shipping carton in front of the •installation location to protect the flooring, •

• Inspect Installation LocationInspect cutout dimensions and locationof electrical junction box to be sure it fitswithin the layout location, See page 4,Refer to alternate construction section for

the following non-standard installations.

a. Counter opening extends to the wall:Maintop Filler Kit (JXS66XX), orBackguard Kit (JXS32XX).

WARNING: If you do not use these kits,the anti-tip bracket must fit under anattachment to the wall that can withstand •

a force of 200 Ibs. in the upward direction.See Step 1 under INSTALL THE RANGE.

b. 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 and rangecooktop may occur. Forcing the cooktopto fit may cause excessive gaps.

To obtain Kits:

a. Visit GE Web Site (See page 1)b. Call GE Answer Center (See page 1)c. Contact Dealer

Door removal is not a requirement forinstallation of the product, but is an addedconvenience. To remove the door:

Open the oven door as far as it will go.

Push both hingelocks down toward

the door frame,to the unlocked

position. This mayrequire a flat bladescrewdriver.

DO NOT LIFT THE DOORBY THE HANDLE!

Place hands on both sides ofthe door, and close the ovendoor to the removal position.This is half way between thebroil stop and fully closed.

Lift door upand out until thehinge arms clearthe slots.

Hinge clears slot

NOTE: The oven door is very heavy. Be sureyou have a firm grip before lifting the ovendoor off the hinges. Use caution once the dooris removed. Do not lay the door on its handle.This could cause dents or scratches.

• Remove packing materials. Remove labelson door, plastic on trims and panel, andall tape around the range.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

[]

Remove house fuse or open circuitbreaker.

Loosen screws for the junction box coverand rotate out of place or remove thecover.

Examine the junction box location todetermine the best routing of the conduit,and select the best available 7/8" diameterknockout. Avoid using holes in the top ofthe junction box to prevent the conduitfrom interfering with the back of therange.

Break open the selected knockout byplacing a bladed screwdriver on thescored opening in the junction box andstriking the screwdriver with a hammer.(Pliers may be required to complete theremoval of the knockout.)

7/8" knockout

Cover rotated frombox opening

Position the range in front of the opening,but slightly to the side, in a manner sothat a person can enter the opening towire the range to the house wiring inthe junction box.

Feed wires and conduit through the openhole and snap the conduit fitting into thehole. Route the conduit in a manner thatwill not interfere with the rear wire cover.The conduit must be routed below thewire cover.

WARNING: Improper connectionof aluminum house wiring to copper leads canresult in an electrical hazard or fire. Use onlyconnectors designed for joining copper toaluminum and follow the manufacturer'srecommended procedure closely.

GENERAL NOTE FOR ALL WIRE NUTAPPLICATIONS: THE PROPER SIZE WIRE NUTSHALL BE PLACED OVER THE STRIPPEDLEADS AND THE WIRE NUT TWISTED UNTILTHE WIRE NUT CAN NOT BE PULLED FROMTHE LEADS. NO CONDUCTOR SHALL BEEXPOSED IN THE CONNECTION. THEEXCEPTION TO THE CONDUCTOR BEINGEXPOSED IS THE BARE COPPER GROUNDCONNECTION.

F_ Reinstall Junction box cover.

Do not shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached tothe junction box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexibleconduit will not fit within the junction box, do not install the oven until a clamp of the propersize is obtained.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are UL recognizedfor connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated attemperatures much higher than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carryingcapacity of the conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,rather than the wire gauge alone.

INSTALL THE RANGE (CONT.)

_-I INSTALL STOP SCREW

These screws prevent the range from slidingout of position during operation.

Carefully mark the cabinet for the location ofthe stop screws. Drill 1/8" pilot holes into thecabinet, each side of the range. (Make surenot to drill entirely through the cabinet wall.)Carefully turn the shoulder screws into thepilot holes until they are tight.

[] PLACING THE RANGE INTOTHE OPENING

It is suggested that two people lift the rangeinto place, carefully setting the side metalflanges on the edges of the countertopopening. Carefully slide the range toward theback of the opening. In the last 1" of travel, liftthe front of the range approx. 1/2" to clear thestop screws located in the sides of the cabinetand slide the range until the range is seated.Lower front of the range onto countertop.

Installation Instructions

FINAL CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (Reset) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

• Be sure power is in service to the building.

• Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape on metal panel (if applicable) under controlknobs and drawer have been removed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the Clock display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear inthe display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change ismade to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked forproper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red linesappear.

• Push down and turn any one of the four surface knobs to "MED" setting to observe that theelement glows within 15 seconds. Turn the knob off when glow is detected. If the glow is notdetected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required,retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connectionsand voltage.
