Installation
Advanced Planning
The product should not be installed over any
cooktop or range with a combined BTU greater than
60000 BTU.
This oven is for installation over ranges up to 36
inches wide.
The space between the cabinets must be 30 inches
wide and free of obstructions. If the space between
the cabinets is greater than 30 inches, a
fi
ller panel
kit may be used to
fi
ll in the gap between the oven
and the cabinets. Filler panel kits available from GE
are: White - JX52WH, and Black - JX52BL. These
fi
ller
kits are for installation between cabinets only and
are not for end-of-cabinet installation.
Maximum cabinet depth above and beside the unit
is 13 inches.
When installing the oven beneath smooth,
fl
at
cabinets, be careful to follow the instructions on the
top cabinet template for power cord clearance.
For models with top venting holes: Do not allow
cabinetry or other objects to block the air
fl
ow of the
vent.
If the oven is to be vented outside, it is important
that venting be installed using the most direct
route and with as few elbows as possible. This
ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely
and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Note:
The total duct length of 3¼" x 10" rectangular
or 6" diameter round duct should not exceed
140 equivalent feet. Refer to the Installation
Instructions (Hood Exhaust Section) for exhaust duct
preparation.
WARNING:
Risk of Electric Shock. Can cause injury
or death: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED to avoid severe or fatal shock.
A quali
fi
ed electrician must perform a ground
continuity check on the wall receptacle before
beginning the installation to ensure that the outlet
box is properly grounded. If not properly grounded,
or if the wall receptacle does not meet electrical
requirements noted (under Electrical Requirements),
a quali
fi
ed electrician should be employed to correct
any de
fi
ciencies.
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 electrical shock hazard
from this appliance.
Caution:
• For personal safety, the mounting surface must
