Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
Receptacle Locations
Locally approved flexible service cord or conduit must be used because terminals are not accessible after range installation. See shaded area in drawing for location of electrical outlet box. Recommended outlet locations allow range to be installed directly against wall.
Spacing Recommendations
Note: 30" ranges conform to U.L. requirements for 0" spacing from adjacent walls below countertops. To reduce possibility of scorching walls, engineering recommends a minimum of 1-1/2" spacing to allow for possible extended, high-heat, no-load heating element operation.
*Except these models: JGBS07, JGBS04, JGBP90, all GE Profile free-standing electric and gas ranges.
Fits most countertop backsplash applications. Consult Use & Care Manual for detailed installation instructions.
Diagram Description: The installation diagram illustrates the dimensions of the GE® 30" Free-Standing Electric Range. Key dimensions include a width of approximately 30 inches, a depth of 25-3/8 inches, and a total height of 47-5/8 inches (including the backguard). The backguard itself is 30-7/8 inches wide. The diagram highlights an "Acceptable electrical outlet area" located to the side of the range, typically behind the unit but accessible. Specific notes indicate that for models with baking or warming drawers, the electrical outlet must not be in a particular area shown. Recommended spacing from adjacent walls is 0 inches according to UL requirements, but 1-1/2 inches is recommended by engineering to prevent wall scorching during high-heat operations. Dimensions for wall-to-handle clearance are also provided, varying slightly by model series.
