Q: I need to replace a 15 yr old GE Profile gas slide in range. I love the stove top which is an easy clean black glass. It sounds like this model has a painted metal top. How difficult is it to clean and can I use oven cleaner on it?

A: Please be careful when you allow Best Buy to install your appliances. I purchased a stove from Best Buy and had it installed September 4, 2019. The first time it was installed by Best Buy there was a gas leak. We had to turn the gas off and open the doors and windows to air our our house. When we called we had to wait until September 9, 2019 to have another Best Buy installer come to fix the gas leak. The installer confirmed that the first Best Buy installers did not put a protective sealant to stop the gas from leaking out. After that second installer left, less than an hour there was another smell of gas. This time we had to call the gas company, they advised us to go outside and wait The gas company came out to our home and had to turn the gas off because our gas reading was at a number 4 on the scale they use between 0-1. The gas company left a caution sign on our new stove installed by Best Buy twice, not to use because of the gas leak. We called and spoke to Best Buy Corporate and was told that the unit might be faulty and offered to switch the unit. We let Best Buy Corporate know that the gas company confirmed that the stove is not the problem, but the way it was poorly installed. We decided to keep the stove and have an outside company install the stove and have Best Buy pay for it. Best Buy Corporate said after it is installed to call them back to have compensation, but still thought it is the stove that is faulty. On September 13, 2019, we had an appointment with an independent contractor called Royal Appliance, they installed the stove and used all the proper equipment needed to install the stove and we have not had a problem since. However, when we called Best Buy Corporate back, they informed us that our compensation would be $105 on a Best Buy gift card. We explained that it is unacceptable, because lives could have been lost due to the negligence of the two Best Buy installers. Best Buy Corporate told us that the most they are willing to give for compensation is $105 on a Best Buy gift card, but if we go to the store we can get more. When we spoke to the Best Buy where we bought the stove, they offered us $60. Then we asked for more and then Best Buy said they will give us $80. We asked for at least what Best Buy Corporate offer. Best Buy then said they would give us $100. for almost losing our lives from two gas leaks because the Best Buy installer do not know how to install stoves.

Q: I’m confused. Is the griddle for this model Teflon or cast iron? There were two different responses. If it’s Teflon, can I just remove the griddle altogether? What is underneath?

A: Hi Stephgeewhiz- Thanks for choosing GE! The aluminum griddle included has a non-stick coating (same family as Teflon). The range is also compatible with REVERSIBLE CAST IRON GRILL/GRIDDLE JXGRILL1 (sold separately) and CENTER CAST IRON GRATE JXGRATE1 (sold separately). These optional accessories can be interchanged with the griddle. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA

Q: It says the depth is 29 inches. standard counter depth is only around 25 inches. So this will protrude out 4inches?

A: Hi - Overall Depth with handle is 29 1/4 in. Depth without handle is 26 3/4 in. We suggest to view Quick Specs at the following link for more details: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=JGSS66EEL_SL_R2_17.pdf - Keep in touch! SUE@GEA

Q: Can the griddle plate be replaced with a traditional burner grid?

A: Yes. You can order one from BestBuy for $49.00 or $49.99. I must admit though, the griddle is awesome! We use it all the time!

Q: Is the bottom compartment a broiler drawer or just pot storage?

A: Hi LeeLee! Thanks for reaching out! We'd love to help. The drawer near the bottom of the unit is for storage. The broiler is in the oven. Hope this helps! Best wishes. -Michael@GEA

Q: Does this have a self-cleaning oven?

A: Hi texasdlm - This model has Steam Clean and not self-cleaning. Steam Clean allows for quick cleaning of minor food spills at temperatures lower than the standard self-clean feature so you can avoid the time required for conventional self-clean ovens. Simply pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of a cool oven. Close the door and select Steam Clean. The cycle lasts about 30 minutes, and loosens and softens the grime in the oven. Thanks for considering GE Model # JGSS66SELSS. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com for all your appliance needs! Sue
