WARNING!

INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas supplier.

Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use

of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.

IMPORTANT – Remove all packing material and literature from oven before connecting gas and electrical supply to range.

CAUTION – Do not attempt to operate the oven of this range during a power failure (Electric Ignition models only).

■Have your range installed by a qualified installer.

■Your range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See

Electrical Connections in this section.

■Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°F without shrinking,

warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4″ thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

■Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F.

■Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation

hood over the range that projects forward at least 5″ beyond the front of the cabinets.

■The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet metal not less than 0.0122″ thick.

Install above the cooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4″ between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24

INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

■If cabinets are placed above the range,

allow a minimum clearance of 30″ between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

■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. Clearance between the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST

NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

■The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking

surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than 1″ to the plane of the range sides must not be less than 18″. (See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this section.)

■CAUTION – Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

JGB915, JGB905 specifications

The GE JGB905 and JGB915 are both standout models within GE's lineup of gas ranges, designed to provide a seamless cooking experience with a focus on modern technology and traditional cooking excellence. Both models feature a sleek, stainless steel design that not only enhances the kitchen's aesthetic but also ensures durability and ease of cleaning.

One of the main features of the JGB905 and JGB915 is their powerful gas burners. These ranges come equipped with multiple sealed burners, allowing for precise heat control. The variances in BTU output across the burners cater to different cooking needs, from simmering sauces to achieving high-heat sears on meats. The center oval burner, available in both models, is especially useful for accommodating larger pans or griddles.

Incorporated into these ranges is GE's advanced Edge-to-Edge cooktop, which maximizes the cooking surface. This design feature allows for the use of oversized pots and pans without sacrificing space or efficiency. Additionally, the continuous cast-iron grates provide a robust cooking surface, making it easy to slide pots from one burner to another.

When it comes to oven performance, both the JGB905 and JGB915 include an innovative convection oven. This technology circulates hot air throughout the oven cavity, promoting even cooking and browning. The ovens also feature self-cleaning options that save time and effort, allowing users to maintain a clean oven with minimal manual scrubbing.

Another characteristic of these models is the inclusion of smart technology. Equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, both ranges allow users to monitor their cooking from their smartphones. This feature adds convenience, enabling remote access to controls and notifications about the oven status, which is particularly helpful when multitasking in the kitchen.

The interior of the ovens is designed for efficiency and ample space, providing multiple rack positions to accommodate different dishes. Interior oven lighting ensures that users can easily check on their meals without opening the oven door, preserving heat and enhancing cooking precision.

In summary, the GE JGB905 and JGB915 gas ranges stand out with their sleek design, powerful burner capabilities, innovative convection technology, smart features, and user-friendly interfaces. These models cater to both novice cooks and culinary enthusiasts, making them excellent additions to any modern kitchen.
