To install the GE APPLIANCES JBS360DM 30 Inch Free-Standing Electric Range, please follow the installation instructions provided in the manual. Before installation, it is important to consult the installation instructions for current dimensional data and additional requirements specific to your model.

Here are the general steps for installation:

1. Locate the electrical outlet box: Refer to the shaded area in the drawing provided in the manual to find the recommended location for the electrical outlet box. This will allow the range to be installed directly against the wall.

2. Use a locally approved flexible service cord or conduit: Since the terminals are not accessible after range installation, it is recommended to use a locally approved flexible service cord or conduit for the electrical connection.

3. Determine the KW rating and breaker size: The KW rating and breaker size depend on the voltage of your electrical supply. For 240V, the KW rating is 10.2 and the recommended breaker size is 40 Amps. For 208V, the KW rating is 7.6 and the recommended breaker size is also 40 Amps. However, it is important to check local codes for the required breaker size.

4. Ensure proper spacing: The appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, it is recommended to maintain a minimum spacing of 6" to surfaces less than 15" above the cooktop and adjacent cabinets to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter, and heat.

Please refer to the complete installation instructions provided in the manual for detailed information and any specific requirements for your model.
