GE JBP95, Use And Care & Installation Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water 

and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.

• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens

gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

• Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. 

If your model has a surface light, you must
recycle the fluorescent light bulb according 
to local, state and federal codes.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including 
the following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this guide.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any 

part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT

THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.

WARNING—

All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach it to the wall and
floor by installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. 
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, remove the kick
panel or storage drawer and inspect the rear
leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any
reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against the wall. 
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information 
in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.

• Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang 

on the door, kick panel or storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range and even
tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let

pot holders touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
