ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located behind the storage drawer or warming drawer on the oven frame.

Location of model rating plate

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70— Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 138diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then to Step 6 or 7.

On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.

The GE JBS56 is a standout model in General Electric's line of kitchen appliances, particularly known for its dual-fuel range that harmonizes the precision of gas cooking with the even heating of electric ovens. This model reflects GE's commitment to blending performance with modern design and advanced technology, making it a popular choice for both amateur cooks and professional chefs alike.

One of the main features of the GE JBS56 is its combination of a gas cooktop and an electric oven.

The cooktop typically comes equipped with multiple burners of varying sizes, providing flexibility to accommodate different cooking techniques, whether it’s simmering a sauce or boiling water for pasta.

The range is designed with user-friendliness in mind. It often includes features like the "Self-Clean" option, which utilizes high temperatures to burn off food residues, leaving behind a clean oven without the hassle of manual scrubbing. Additionally, the oven usually comes with advanced baking technologies such as True European Convection, which circulates heat throughout the oven for flawlessly baked goods, ensuring that both the top and bottom cook uniformly.

Safety is another important aspect of the GE JBS56. Many models come with features like automatic shut-off and a clean and sleek design that prevents the accumulation of food debris, contributing to a safer cooking environment.

Moreover, the aesthetics of the GE JBS56 are appealing, with a sleek finish and modern knobs and controls, designed to integrate seamlessly into contemporary kitchens. It often includes a large oven window and bright interior lighting, allowing chefs to easily monitor the progress of their meals without opening the oven door and losing heat.

In conclusion, the GE JBS56 dual-fuel range stands out for its combination of gas and electric cooking capabilities, advanced features for convenience and safety, and a stylish design that enhances any kitchen space. It is a reliable appliance for those who appreciate the art of cooking, combining innovation with everyday practicality.
