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.

JGB920 specifications

The GE JGB920 is a top-of-the-line gas range that embodies advanced features and modern cooking technologies, making it a favorite among culinary enthusiasts and home cooks alike. One of its standout characteristics is the powerful stainless steel construction, which not only delivers a sleek and professional look but also ensures durability and easy maintenance.

One of the primary features of the GE JGB920 is its convection oven, which uses a fan to circulate hot air, providing even cooking results for all dishes. This technology is especially beneficial for baking, as it aids in creating consistent browning and prevents hot spots. Additionally, the oven boasts a generous capacity, allowing users to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously or accommodate larger roasts.

The JGB920 also features a variety of cooking modes, including bake, broil, and even specialized settings like a self-cleaning function. This feature automates the cleaning process, using high temperatures to eliminate food residues, thus simplifying post-cooking cleanup.

The range is equipped with a precise temperature control system, allowing for accurate adjustments for various cooking methods. The integrated electronic ignition ensures a reliable start-up, while the gas burners provide responsive heat adjustment, enabling users to achieve the desired cooking temperatures efficiently.

Another significant aspect of the GE JGB920 is its Smart technology capability. By connecting to a home network, users can control the range remotely via a smartphone app. This feature allows for preheating the oven or adjusting cooking settings from the comfort of another room, adding convenience to the cooking process.

The cooktop itself is designed with versatility in mind. It offers multiple burner sizes, including a powerful high-heat burner for boiling and a simmer burner for delicate sauces. This flexibility meets various cooking demands, from searing to simmering, enhancing the range's overall functionality.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the GE JGB920. The range includes a variety of safety features, such as a gas safety valve and a child lock, ensuring peace of mind for families.

In summary, the GE JGB920 gas range successfully combines innovative cooking technologies with user-friendly features and a stylish design. Its convection oven, smart technology integration, and versatile cooktop options make it an excellent choice for any kitchen, elevating the cooking experience to new heights.
