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 belowcountertops. Allow 1/4″ minimum clearance at the back wall above the countertop.However, some kitchen cabinet finishes canbe damaged by heat from the range surfaceelements. Where varnished wood or plasticfilm finishes are used, a minimum clearanceof 6″ must be maintained.

• For listed over-the-range microwave ovens, the microwave ovens can be installedabove the cooktop as per manufacturer’sinstallation instructions.

• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must bemet for safe use of your range. The locationof the electrical outlet may be changed asneeded, but electricity to the range can bedisconnected at the outlet without moving therange if the outlet is in the suggested location(remove lower drawer).

Make sure the wall coverings, countertop andcabinets around the cooktop can withstand theheat (up to 200°F) generated by the range.

PREPARATION

• Remove all tape and packaging. Be sure toremove clear plastic film that covers somechrome parts (around glass oven doors,side trim) and any tape and packaging frominside 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 indamage to the appliance once the appliancehas been turned on and surfaces haveheated.

PREPARE THE COUNTER

If you have an existing 30″ wide cutout thatgoes all the way to the wall, you have theoption to buy a 4″ Backguard, Model#JXS32XX or a Main Top Rear Filler Kit,Model #JXS66XX. These kits are availablethrough your GE dealer, if the existing cutoutis in a counter that has a backsplash (post-formed top) we recommend that you use the4″ backguard kit.

4

PREPARING THE COUNTER(CONT.)

Determine the dimension of your cutout. Dimensions given are from front of counterand not from cabinet face. To minimizechipping you may want to apply maskingtape to the counter and mark the cut on topof the tape. Use a hand or saber saw to makethe cut. For best appearance it is importantthat 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 backinto the counter, the cutout may be cutdeeper (up to 24-1/2″), but there must be at least 24-1/2″ from the front edge of thecountertop and back wall.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

TO MAKE ELECTRICALCONNECTION

• Remove the junction block access cover (on range back). When re-installingone-piece wire cover, make sure that wiredoes not become pinched between wirecover and mainback.

• All new constructions, mobile homes,recreational vehicle and installations wherelocal codes do not allow grounding throughneutral, require a four-wire flexible cord kit.If the range is rated between 8,750 and16,500 watts, a range cord kit rated for 40 amps and a minimum of 125/250 Volts is required. If the range is rated between16,501 and 22,500 watts, a range cord kitrated for 50 amps and a minimum of125/250 Volts is required. For existingconstruction, a three wire flexible cord kitmay be used, and the same ratings apply as described above.

• When using a cord rated 40 Amps, removethe next to outermost knockout (1-3/8″diameter) in the connection plate. Likewise,when using a cord rated 50 Amps, removethe outermost knockout (1-3/4″ diameter) in the plate.

• Terminations shall be either closed loopterminals or open-end spade lugs withupturned ends. You must use a clamp orstrain relief to hold the cord.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with thisappliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

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 specified on the ratingplate. The rating plate is located above thestorage drawer on 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.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS FOR RANGESUSED WITH COUNTERTOPHEIGHTS UP TO 38″

The height of the range must be adjusted to thecountertop height. For countertop heights greaterthan 37″, additional measurements may need to betaken as detailed below. When the range is elevated to the maximum height,there is a large space between the bottom of therange and the floor, referred to as the toe space. Thismay be visually objectionable. The legs should not beextended any further than to provide a maximum of3″ toe space.The range is designed to provide a minimum of 1″ airgap at the bottom of the range. (Example: When legsare screwed all the way into the base rail.)

This gap is very important to the proper ventilation ofthe range and must be maintained when treating theappearance of the toe space. The following is a suggested method of making a filler for the toe space when the legs are extended asmentioned before. After the range is installed with the longer legs and isin position and level, measure from the bottom of thebodyside to the floor. This will be the required heightof the toe space filler. This height may range from 2-1/16″ to 3″. Any height less than 2-1/16″ may not be visually objectionable and not need the filler.

Build the filler as shown. Make sure to provide the3/4″ gap at the top and the 5/16″ gap at the bottom.These gaps will provide the proper ventilation asmentioned before.If you wish to attach the filler to the floor or adjacentcabinets, use screws or other removable fasteners, sothat the range can be readily removed if necessary.
