3ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI- protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.

3ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Temporary Method

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large prongs/slots

Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground

has again been established.

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.
