Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power. a. Turn on gas. b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. • The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner. • Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position. c. Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked. D BURNER IGNITION Cooktop Spark Ignition – When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below. WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency. a. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best. b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting. NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait five minutes before trying again. E BURNER FLAMES Turn each burner on. Turn each burner knob to the high position. Flames should be blue in color with no or little trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be between 1/2″ to 3/4″ long. If the burner flames are yellow in color or not the proper length, call GE Service. Burners should be checked frequently. WARNING: If you attempt to measure the inner cone of the flame, please use caution. Burns could result. F 1/2″ to 3/4″ COOKTOP BURNER Flames should circle burner

BACKGUARD KIT If counter opening extends to the wall, it will require Maintop Filler Kit (supplied with the range) or Backguard Kit (JXS36XX or JXS39SS) to close the gap. NOTE: If the countertop is greater than 25″, it will show a gap between the backguard and wall or between filler kit and the wall. If the countertop is less than 25″, a gap will occur between the countertop front and the control panel ends (see Step 13G). If you are using the optional backguard kit, refer to the backguard kit instructions for installation details. If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler piece supplied with the range to the back of the range as shown in the figure below. Start the 2 screws into the upper holes at the outside rear of the range above the louvers and through the slots in the trim, holding the filler piece centered on the maintop frame and pushing upward to close the gap between the bottom of the glass and the filler trim. A 19 When the trim is set in the proper position, tighten the 2 mounting screws. The top of the trim should be located below the top surface of the glass to prevent pots, pans and skillets from damaging the painted parts. Refer to the Standard Installation of the Range on page 6. Wall 25″ Must be level Must be flat 30″ smooth cut Must be level 31-1/8″ Must be flat (2) #8 screws Maintop filler Range Cooktop FOR NON-BUILT-IN INSTALLATION (END OF CABINET LOCATION) When installing the range at the end of a cabinet section which will expose the unfinished side of the range, use Body Side Kit (JXS76XX).

ALTERNATE CONSTRUCTION PREPARATION (cont.) FOR CABINET OPENINGS APPROXIMATELY 30-3/8″ If range is installed in cabinet opening approximately 30-3/8″, the Vertical Side Trim Kit (JXS86XX) should be used to cover gaps between range sides and cabinet. Refer to the kit instructions for installation details. D 19 CABINETS OVER THE RANGE LESS THAN 30″ If a 30″ clearance between cooking surface and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4″ insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122″ thick. E OPERATION CHECKLIST • Double check to make sure everything in this guide has been completed. Rechecking steps will ensure safe use of the cooktop. • Make sure all controls are left in the OFF position. • Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the cooktop is unobstructed. • The serial plate for your Range is located under the oven door above the storage area. In addition to the model and serial numbers, it tells you the ratings of the burners and the type of fuel and pressure the cooktop was adjusted for when it left the factory. • When ordering parts, always include the serial number and model number to ensure proper replacement parts. • Recheck Steps: Double check to make sure everything in this guide has been completed. Rechecking steps will ensure safe use of the Range. 20 IN SOME CASES With L.P. gas, some yellow tipping on the outer cone is normal. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear. SPECIAL NOTE: To convert the oven back to natural gas, reverse the instructions given in making L.P. Adjustments. Once the conversion is complete and checked ok, fill out the LP sticker and include your name, organization and the date the conversion was made. Apply the sticker near the regulator to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted to LP gas. If converting back to natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas. B A Please see L.P. conversion instructions supplied with this range when L.P. Gas is used. NOTE: Instructions are mounted on regulator bracket. ADJUSTING LOW FLAME SETTING ON COOKTOP BURNERS Low setting adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This procedure prevents the low flame from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on. Remove the valve control knobs. Through the opening, locate the valve bypass screw located on the lower right side of the valves. Using a small screwdriver, screw down the bypass screw fully in a clockwise rotation.
