Q: QuestionDo you need electric outlet to use this range? Is it like XL44

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi - Yes, the range has an electronic ignition system. The power cord is included and has a three-prong (grounding) plug. Volts/Hertz/Amps: 120v; 60Hz; 15A. Check out the Installation Guide online: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-10893-5.PDF - Also, the name XL44 was given to certain gas ranges because of the extra large oven cavity, which was 4.4 cubic feet and one of the largest oven cavities on the market at the time. The capacity has increased to 4.8 cu. ft. on model JGBS30REKSS. We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Sue

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

• A:Answer Hi - Gas Ovens can take 15-20 minutes to preheat depending on the set temperature, starting temperature of the oven, room temperature and number of racks in the oven (each additional rack will add approximately 30 seconds to preheat time). The Oven/Cycle light comes on when the burner is on. It will cycle on and off during cooking. This range does not have a preheat light. Thanks for viewing GE! Sue
