Pre-Installation Checklist

Move Range Indoors In Front of

Cabinet Opening

(Do not use hand trucks when
moving the unpackaged range.
Cooktop glass may be broken.)
Protect the kitchen floor! Flatten and
place a piece of the shipping carton in
front of the installation location to protect
the flooring.
Do not remove the protective
channel from the sides of the glass
cooktop until later in installation.
(If supplied)
Inspect Installation Location
Inspect cutout dimensions and location
of electrical junction box to be sure it fits
within 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), or
Backguard Kit (JXS36XX or JXS39SS).
WARNING: If you do not use these
kits, the anti-tip bracket must fit under
an attachment to the wall that can
withstand a force of 200lbs. in the
upward direction. See Section D1.
b. Island Installation:
To provide an optimum installation, the
top surface of the countertop must be
level and flat (lie on the same plane)
around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to
make the top flat should be made or
gaps between the countertop and
range cooktop may occur. Forcing the
cooktop to fit may cause excessive
gaps, or could break the glass cooktop
and void the warranty.
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 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.
Remove packing materials. Remove
labels on door, plastic on trims and
panel, and all tape around the range.
