To install the GE APPLIANCES JBS160DM-GM 30 Inch Free-Standing Electric Range, please follow the installation instructions provided in the manual. Here are the general steps:

1. Before installing, consult the installation instructions for current dimensional data and additional requirements specific to your installation.
2. Ensure that you have a locally approved flexible service cord or conduit, as the terminals will not be accessible after range installation.
3. Locate the electrical outlet box. Refer to the shaded area in the drawing provided in the manual for the recommended outlet locations. These locations allow the range to be installed directly against the wall.
4. It is recommended to have a 6" minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15" above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter, and heat.
5. Check the KW rating of your range based on the voltage available in your home. For 240V, the KW rating is 10.2, and for 208V, it is 7.6.
6. Check the local codes for the required breaker size. For both 240V and 208V, the recommended breaker size is 40 Amps.
7. Ensure that you install the Anti-Tip device provided with the range. This device is an important safety feature and is required for the installation of the range.
8. Once the electrical and safety requirements are met, you can proceed with placing the range in its designated spot and connecting it to the power source.
