breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated
with certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding-type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the
circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
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 electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required
or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit
and automatically switch off power when a
threshold leakage level is detected. These devices
must be manually reset by the consumer. The
National Electrical Code requires the use of
GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve
countertop surfaces. Performance of the range
will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-
protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping
of the GFCI breaker is possible.
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp
circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit.
Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use
of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware
stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle
to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use. Should
this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
Temporary Method
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
(Adapter plugs not permitted
in Canada)
Align large
prongs/slots

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
(cont.)
Install 1/2″flare union adaptor to the
1/2″NPT elbow on pressure regulator.
Connect flexible appliance connector to
flare union.
Move range into approximate position
and connect flexible connector to gas
supply line with proper flare union
adaptor.
To prevent gas leaks, put a pipe joint
sealant or Teflon®tape on all male
threads. NOTE: Make sure sealant or tape
is compatible with Natural and LP gases.
When you are finished making
connections, be sure that all range knobs
are turned to OFF before you open the
main gas supply valve.
WARNING: Do not use a flame
to check for gas leaks. Use liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks
in the system.

GAS CONNECTIONS
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas
supply line in an easily accessible location.
Know how and where to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
Shut off gas supply before removing an
old range. Leave it off until hookup of
new range is finished.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the
range, we recommend use of a C.S.A.
certified flexible metal appliance
connector.
WARNING: Never reuse old
flexible connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use new flexible connectors
when installing a gas appliance.
Before making gas connections, make
sure that the oven shut-off lever (visible at
the back of range) is in the open position.

D
BURNER IGNITION
Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn
the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter
makes a series of electric sparks (ticking
sounds) which light the burner. During a
power failure the burners will not light
automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop
burner may be lit with a match by following
the steps below.
WARNING: Lighting gas burners
with a match is dangerous. You should match
light the cooktop burners only in an
emergency.
a. Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches
work best.
b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.
Be sure you are turning the correct knob
for the burner you are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within
five seconds, turn the knob off and wait
5 minutes before trying again.
E
BURNER FLAMES
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue
in color with no trace of yellow. The burner
flames should not flutter or blow away from
the burner. The flame should be no less than
1/4″on the lowest setting and no greater than
1-1/2″on highest setting.
Burners should be checked frequently
WARNING: If you attempt to
measure the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
F
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid leak
detector (soap solution) at all joints and
connections to check for leaks. Do not use an
open flame to look for leaks. Be sure all leaks
are stopped before lighting burners.
B
PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION
The maximum allowable supply pressure
for the regulator is 14″W.C. The minimum
supply pressure needed to check the regulator
setting is 7″W.C. for natural gas and 10″W.C.
for LP gas.
WARNING: The range and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds
per square inch gauge). The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual shut-off valve during

OPTIONAL MAINTOP FILLER OR
BACKGUARD KIT
If counter opening extends to the wall, it will
require Maintop Filler Kit (supplied with the range)
or Backguard Kit (JXS32XX or JXS37XX ) to close
the gap.
NOTE: If the countertop is greater than 25″, it will
show a gap between the backguard and wall or
between filler kit and the wall.
If the countertop is less than 25″, a gap will occur
between the countertop front and the control panel
ends (see Step 13G).
If you are using the optional backguard kit, refer to
the backguard kit instructions for installation details.
If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler piece
supplied with the range to the back of the range as
