Installation Instructions
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER
LOCATION
Depending on your range, you’ll find the
model and serial numbers on a label on the
front frame of the range, behind the kick
panel or broiler drawer.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be
subject to strong drafts. Any openings in
the floor or wall behind the range should
be sealed. Make sure the openings around
the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not
obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household
items, is heavy and can settle into soft
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or
carpeting. Use care when moving the range
on this type of flooring. It is recommended
that the following simple and inexpensive
instructions be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the floor
covering ends at the front of the range, the
area that the range will rest on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your
floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the
Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up
to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation
Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure
the burners are properly seated and level.
Lift up the cooktop (on models with
standard twin burners) and remove any
packing material under it.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven
and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have
come loose during shipping.
WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket
should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the
bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from
the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure
to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip
bracket.
For free standing or slide in ranges, never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be
secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (In Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, visit: GEAppliances.com
(In Canada, GEAppliances.ca)
