A:AnswerHello Birdee - Thank you for reaching out about this wonderful range. We will be happy to help with this. When cleaning the griddle, we recommend following these steps:
When using the aluminum non-stick coated griddle for the first time: Wash with mild detergent and water. Dry thoroughly.
After cooking, let the griddle cool and pour off excess grease.
Wash the griddle in warm soapy water. Allow it to soak a few minutes, if necessary, to soften stubborn soils.
If needed, a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad can be used to remove cooked on soils.
Hope this helps! Keep in touch! - JB

A:AnswerHi Purplelady. Good question! Yes, the Steam Clean will cause the water that you pour into the oven to turn into steam. This steam will then fill the oven and loosen up any food particles to make them easier to wipe away. We hope that this helps! Stay safe.
A:AnswerHi there. You do need a 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse for the outlet. For the range power cord, a gas range with electric ignition has a power cord furnished. We hope that this helps and that you are staying safe.

A:AnswerHi - Thanks for your interest in GE Model #JGBS66DEKWW! This model is not self-cleaning. It has Steam Clean option. This method avoids the time required for conventional self-clean ovens. Steam Clean allows for quick cleaning of minor food spills at temperatures lower than the standard self-clean feature. 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. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com for all your appliance needs! Sue
A:AnswerHi Angela - It is not self-cleaning. The range offers Steam Clean option. The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven.

See Owner's Manual: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-2000316-1.pdf - Keep in touch! Sue
A:AnswerHi Dennis - Thanks for choosing GE! All of our gas cooking appliances come ready to be connected to natural gas; however, they also come with an LP conversion kit to connect to LP (Liquid Propane). We recommend a qualified installer or servicer convert the gas range to the proper gas supply needed. The conversion must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. The conversion instructions are located in the wiring diagram (mini-manual) or included with the LP kit attached to the appliance near the pressure regulator. Keep in touch! Sue
A:AnswerHi Chuck- The range is equipped with an extra large, integrated non-stick griddle. Optional CENTER CAST IRON GRATE JXGRATE1 is sold separately. Keep in touch! Sue
A:AnswerThis range leaves the factory set for use with natural gas. If you want to convert to propane gas, the conversion must be performed by a qualified propane gas installer. The conversion orifices and instructions can be found on back of the range.
A:AnswerWe do have an article from our website if you search the title "GE Appliance - Scratches on an Appliance" that has more information on how to remedy the scratches on your range.
A:AnswerWhen cleaning this range, do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. It is advised to clean this appliance with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
A:AnswerWe appreciate you checking with us. This model has an electronic ignition. We no longer sell standing pilot models. An alternative to a standing pilot model is our Hotpoint cordless gas range, model RGBS200DMWW, which features a battery-operated spark ignition system for the burners and the oven.
