ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

19MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase AC 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system with separate ground.

If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

New construction and four-conductor branch circuit connection

When installing in new construction, or

When installing in a mobile home, or

When local codes do not permit grounding through neutral:

4-Conductor Branch Circuit

When connecting the cooktop to a

4-conductor circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each other. Connect the cooktop white lead to the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or gray. Ground the unit by connecting the green conductor of the cooktop to the bare or green leads of the power supply and branch circuit (ground leads).

When installing in existing construction built prior to January 1, 1996, and if permitted by local codes:

3-Conductor Branch Circuit

When connecting cooktop to a 3-conductor circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each other. Connect the green and white leads of the cooktop to the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or gray.

JP989SKSS specifications

The GE JP989SKSS is a remarkable addition to the lineup of advanced kitchen appliances, specifically designed to cater to the cooking needs of modern households. This professional-grade range offers a unique blend of style, functionality, and innovative features that enhance the cooking experience.

One of the standout features of the GE JP989SKSS is its dual fuel capability. By combining the precision of a gas cooktop with the even baking performance of an electric oven, this appliance provides the best of both worlds. Home cooks can enjoy the instant heat and temperature control of a gas burner while benefiting from the consistent heat distribution of an electric oven, making it ideal for baking and roasting.

The cooktop is equipped with five burners, including a powerful 20,000 BTU tri-ring burner that can handle everything from delicate simmering to rapid boiling. This versatility allows users to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously, optimizing their cooking efficiency. Additionally, the burners are designed with heavy-duty cast iron grates that not only enhance durability but also provide a professional look and feel.

The oven of the GE JP989SKSS features a generous capacity that allows users to cook multiple dishes at once without sacrificing quality. It employs advanced convection technology, which circulates hot air throughout the oven for faster and more even cooking results. This capability is particularly advantageous for baking, ensuring that pastries rise beautifully and roasts cook thoroughly.

Another notable technology in this range is the edge-to-edge cooktop design. This feature provides a seamless surface, allowing for easy movement of pots and pans across the entire cooktop. Moreover, the surface is made from easy-to-clean stainless steel, making maintenance a breeze.

The GE JP989SKSS also offers smart features, allowing users to control their oven remotely through a smartphone app. This technology enables cooks to preheat the oven, set timers, and receive alerts, providing greater flexibility in managing meal preparation.

Safety is a priority with features like the auto shut-off capability, which automatically turns off the oven after a set period, preventing any potential hazards. The range also includes a self-cleaning function, simplifying the process of maintaining a spotless oven.

In summary, the GE JP989SKSS stands out due to its dual fuel capability, powerful burners, convection baking technology, and smart home integration. This range is designed for those who seek both style and functionality, elevating the culinary experience in any kitchen. With its robust construction, innovative features, and user-friendly design, the GE JP989SKSS is a top-tier choice for home chefs.
