Automatic Heat Sensor

Your hood is equipped with an automatic thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

If your blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed, the thermostat will sense excessive cooking heat, override the normal blower control and turn the blower on to high speed. The blower will run until the temperature drops to normal operating level. The blower will then automatically return to its original setting.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

This hood uses an F20T12 fluorescent tube and an FS-2 starter, which are available at most hardware stores or home centers.

If the tube flickers or does not light, check the prongs on the ends of the tube to make sure they are properly seated in the tube holders.

If the tube continues to flicker or does not light, replace the tube. Slide the tube into the holders and rotate the tube so that the prongs in the holders grip the tube and hold it in place.

If the ends of the tube light but the center does not, the starter may require replacement. The starter is located behind the filter panel on the right hand side. Install the new starter by pushing the starter in and turning it clockwise.

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

JV960, JV694, JV695, JV696 specifications

The GE JV694 is a standout model in the world of gas ranges, especially appealing to those who crave a blend of modern technology with traditional cooking appeal. With a focus on performance, durability, and design, the JV694 is engineered to meet the demands of contemporary kitchens.

One of the primary features of the GE JV694 is its powerful, high-output burners. It includes a maximum output burner that delivers intense heat, perfect for high-heat cooking techniques such as searing and boiling. The consistency of heat distribution is ensured through even burner design, allowing for perfectly cooked meals every time, whether you are making sauces, stews, or sautéing vegetables.

The range also boasts a convection oven, an advanced technology that uses a fan and a third heating element to circulate hot air around the food. This results in a more even cooking temperature and reduces cooking times. Convection is particularly advantageous when baking, as it creates a uniform temperature throughout the oven, leading to better rise and browning.

Another notable feature of the GE JV694 is its self-cleaning capability. This function allows users to maintain a clean cooking space without the hassle of manual scrubbing. It utilizes high temperatures to burn off residue, converting it into ash that can be easily wiped away. This time-saving technology is perfect for the busy home cook.

In terms of design, the GE JV694 presents a sleek and modern look, featuring stainless steel finishes that are not only stylish but also resistant to fingerprints and smudges. The standout control panel features LED backlit knobs, which offer precise control and a contemporary aesthetic.

Safety is also a priority with the GE JV694. It includes features such as a safety shut-off function, an oven lock, and a flame failure device that ensures peace of mind while cooking.

Overall, the GE JV694 represents a harmonious balance of functionality, style, and advanced technologies.
