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 above the storage drawer on the oven frame.

Rating Plate

Location

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

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 1-3/8″diameter 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.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,

MOBILE HOMES AND

INSTALLATIONS WHERE

The design of the GE JS905 is equally impressive, featuring a sleek stainless-steel finish that adds a modern touch to any kitchen. The front controls are intuitively designed, granting easy access to settings without having to reach over hot pots and pans. The range also includes a warming drawer, ideal for keeping dishes at a perfect serving temperature.
