Q: QuestionDo you take out old stove if pay a fee.

Asked 6 years ago by Danielle.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 4.8 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Gas Range

• A:Answer Yes they take the old stove out for a few I believe it was $19.99., it is listed as a line item if you are purchasing online. Also there is a $62 fee for state law for gas ??? and $180 fee possibly if your lines need to be hooked up, told us the day of delivery ??? Just to let you know so you will be aware because neither fee was mentioned too me in the beginning when I purchased my dad’s stove. What if we didn’t have the money they would have taken stove back, Really Bad Business.

Q: QuestionWill the oven work without Electricity?

Asked 6 years ago by DANN.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 4.8 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Gas Range

• A:Answer Hi DANN - The range has an electronic ignition system and requires a 120volt; 15Amp electrical connection. The automatic pilotless ignition (also called automatic electric or automatic electronic ignition) eliminates the need to light the burners. It also saves money by using less gas than a standing pilot range. Because this system has no standing pilot light, no gas is being used unless it is needed. With the spark igniter system, electricity simply sparks when the control is turned to the LITE position. Gas is simultaneously released and ignites when it comes in contact with the spark. Should there be a power failure, the oven will not function but the burners may be lit with a match. Simply hold the match near the burner, turn the control to LITE. Exercise extreme caution when lighting the burners in this manner. The glo-bar in the oven will cycle on and off with the oven temperature. When it cycles on to heat, the gas valve opens and the gas is ignited. When the oven is at temperature, the gas valve closes there are no longer flames. You only uses gas and see flames in the oven when the oven is actively heating. Keep in touch! Sue

Q: Questionplease advise if I can BAKE with this range. I purchased it but can only find reference to broiling. Also, on the warranty card I mailed in June 2019 had for the model # JGBS30DEK2WW ( added the letter 2) ) but same sku .

Asked 6 years ago by claribel.

• A:Answer Hi Claribel - Thanks for choosing GE! You can certainly bake in your new gas range. The numbers (200-500) on the Oven Temp knob represent Bake temperatures. Turn the Oven Temp knob to select the desired bake temperature or turn to Broil when broiling is desired. See pages 10 and 12 of the Use and Care Manual: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-2000315-1.pdf - Also, when the model is manufactured, these extra letters/numbers are placed on the appliance rating plate and product registration card. These letters/numbers are used to identify manufacturing specific data when the appliance is made. Should service or parts be needed, these are used as identifiers for the specific appliance. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com - We are always eager to help! Sue

Q: QuestionAre all parts included to convert burners and oven to LP? If not connected to electric for the pilots can it just be turned on and light with match when LP?

Asked 6 years ago by BREITY.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 4.8 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Gas Range

• A:Answer Hi Breity - 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. also, the range has an electronic ignition system. In the case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners with a match as indicated in the Owner's Manual. However, the oven cannot be lit without power. Thanks for choosing GE! Sue
