Q: QuestionI purchased this oven last year and the glass top is very fragile. It was immediately scratch and indented from metal pans. Now it’s entirely cracked all the way through in two spots. Can the stovetop be replaced? Can Best Buy come out and fix it?

Asked 4 years ago by kjwa.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between a JGSS86SP1SS and a JGSS86SPSS? Thank you!

Asked 4 years ago by JONES2888.

• A:Answer I'm not sure this was adressed properly. It looks like GE made a mid model switch. I looked at the manual and there is a difference. The SP1SS does not have a dedicated Air Fry button for the lower oven while the SPSS does. Instead, there's a delayed start feature. Oddly enough, the 1SPSS has an illumination icon in the display but no idea how one goes about selecting it

Q: QuestionCan you use the stove for canning?

Asked 4 years ago by Lori.

• A:Answer Hi - Great question! Yes you can, providing you are canning with a water-bath, pressure canner, or pressure cooker. It is essential that you use flat bottom canners. Do not use large diameter canners or other large diameter pots for frying or boiling foods other than water. When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from canning jar manufacturers and county extension offices. Enjoy your summer harvest! Vikki@GEA
