IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE - 1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas shutoff valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

■ Have your cooktop installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas cooktop installers or service technicians.
Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your cooktop can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions. Your model is factory adjusted for use with natural gas.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor burner performance.
Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Let the burner grate and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the cooktop before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer.
Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY... - 1

⚠ WARNING!

SURFACE BURNERS

Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grate. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or center of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burners.
■Always turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
■Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

  • Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
    Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
    Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
    ■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
    Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
    Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.
  • Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
    If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
    To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
    Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.
    ■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.
    Do not use aluminum foil under burner grate. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.
    Do not cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for proper ventilation and burner performance.
  • Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilots with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then turn the control knob to the high position. Use extreme caution when lighting the burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Push the control knob down and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

If the flame is too low at the setting, the valve can be adjusted. Refer to Flames too high or too low at the LOW setting in the Troubleshooting Tips section.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - How to Light a Gas Surface Burner - 1

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

If the burner has not been used recently, the flames may make a loud noise. This is normal, and it should dissipate after 4 to 5 minutes.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

■ Make sure all grates on the cooktop are in place before using any burner.

■ Only surface burners may be used on the right side.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

- Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use.

Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

When trying to simmer delicate foods, use the right side of the unit for best results. The LO setting on the left side is hotter to accommodate the grill module. If you find that the LO setting is too hot, you can adjust the valve. See the Troubleshooting Tips section.

Do not allow large pans to extend over the control knobs. Heat trapped between large pans and control knobs could cause possible damage to the control knobs.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - After Lighting a Gas Burner - 1
Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok, available at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do not use a flat-bottomed wok with a wok holder.

Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health.

Cookware

Use large diameter cookware on rear burners.

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware: those for oven use only and those for cooktop cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

text_image OFF LO MED HI

How to Operate the Downdraft Vent System

The built-in vent system helps remove cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

To turn on the vent fan, use the vent control switch on the control panel.

- Turn the vent fan speed control knob to HI, MED or LO as needed.

NOTE: Even if the fan switch is in the OFF position, the fan will turn on automatically and operate continuously while the grill burner module is in use.

Continuous use of the vent system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid, reducing cooking odors and soiling moisture that normally creates a frequent need for cleaning.

At the HI fan speed setting, it is normal for the nearby burner flames to be drawn toward the vent grille. If cooking performance is affected, then use a lower fan speed setting.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL.

Using the Grill

  • The vent fan will turn on automatically and operate continuously while the grill burner module is in use.
  • Before using the grill for the first time, wash grill grate in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.
  • Precondition grate by brushing with vegetable oil or spraying with a non-stick coating such as Pam®. Do this every time before you grill.
  • For easier clean-up, spray grate and burner basin with a non-stick coating.
  • Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the non-stick grill grate finish.
  • Preheat the grill on high for 5 to 10 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.
  • Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Some fat is necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked "outdoor" flavor. However, excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
  • Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the warranty on the grill grate. Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior needs to be cleaned, excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or that the meat was not properly trimmed.

  • Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for a second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.

  • Never leave the grill unattended during operation.

IMPORTANT:

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL.

  • Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.
  • Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.
  • Do not allow burner basin to become overloaded with grease. Clean after each use.
  • Do not cover grate completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak, etc., to allow proper ventilation as well as to prevent flare-ups.
  • Do not use cooking pots, pans, skillets, etc., on the grill grate.

Should a Sustained Flare-Up Occur:

  1. Use the vent control to turn the fan on.
  2. Immediately turn the grill control knobs to the OFF position.
  3. Remove the meat from the grill.

Grilling.

Grilling Tips

  • With your grill, any food you've considered "at its best" when prepared outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.
  • The following suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of the equipment. Be sure to follow directions in this manual for using the grill.
  • Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations in meats. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings work best.
  • For best results, buy top-grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4-inch thick will grill better than thinner cuts.
  • For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure the grill is preheated. Allow one side of the meat to cook to the desired doneness, or until the juices appear on the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Moving the food around causes loss of juices.

  • When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless the recipe specifies otherwise. Sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) will caramelize on grill grate and will create a cleaning chore.
    • There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.

  • Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
  • Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks because these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
    • To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.
  • Score the fat on the edges of steaks but do not cut into the meat to prevent curling while cooking.

Preheat the grill on high for 5 to 10 minutes for best flavor.

Griddle.

Griddle Accessory

Using the griddle:

  1. Before the first use, wash your new griddle in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Then "condition" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil or shortening. Remove excess oil or shortening by wiping again with another paper towel.
  2. Insert grill burner. DO NOT use grill grate.
  3. Place griddle over grill burner so that the drain holes are in front. This will permit excess grease to be collected in the grease container.

  4. Preheat the griddle 5 to 10 minutes at the specified setting as noted in the Griddle Guide.

  5. Use non-metallic spatulas or utensils while cooking to prevent damaging the finish.

IMPORTANT:

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL.

If the jar is broken, replace with any heat tempered jar, such as a canning jar, that has a wide mouth screw neck.

Porcelain Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

For other spills, such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders. Rinse well.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Grill Burner

The grill burner should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with a non-abrasive pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly before using again. For heavy soil, the burner should be cleaned first with a soapy steel wool pad, rinsed and dried. Then it can be cleaned in a self-cleaning oven for two hours.

NOTE: Check to be sure all burner ports are open. To open clogged ports, insert a twist tie directly into each port.

Grill Grate

The grate should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with detergent and a plastic scrubber, such as Tuffy, or washed in the dishwasher if burned-on residue is first removed. For heavy soil, the grate can be soaked in hot, soapy water mixed with household ammonia.

Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to clean outdoor grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the grate. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grate.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - Grill Grate - 1

natural_image Illustration of a hand using a tool to cut or remove a component, with no visible text or symbols.

Vent Grille and Filter

Vent Grille: The vent grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in the sink with mild household detergents.

NOTE: On models with a white vent grille, stubborn stains may be removed by soaking the grille in a 50/50 mix of bleach and water overnight. After cleaning, rinse the grille thoroughly and dry it before replacing.

Filter: Turn off the fan before removing. Turn the filter retainer clip to remove the filter. The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in the sink with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the fan without the filter. The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening and the bottom of the filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the bottom. If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

Ventilation Chamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. The ventilation chamber may be cleaned with a paper towel, damp cloth or sponge and a mild household detergent or cleanser.

Igniters Electrodes

It is important to keep igniter port openings on burners clear and free of obstructions to avoid ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the port openings are blocked, use a twist tie or paper clip to remove any clogs in the burner slits.

This small metal rod in the burner produces the spark and must be kept clean and dry to properly ignite the gas. Use a dry paper towel or scrub pad to keep the electrode clean.

Griddle Accessory

DO NOT immerse a hot griddle in cold water.

Once the griddle has cooled, wash with soap or detergent in hot water in the sink. Be sure to remove all food residue before cooking on the griddle again.

Remove stubborn spots with a plastic scouring pad. For best results, use only those cleaning products which are recommended for use when cleaning non-stick surfaces. Do not use steel wool or coarse scouring pads.

DO NOT wash in a dishwasher.

Sealed Burner Module

Cooktop Surface:

To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining:

  • Clean the cooktop after each use.
  • Wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled, because these spills may discolor the porcelain.

Sealed Burners:

The sealed burners of your cooktop are secured to the cooktop module and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into the module, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. However, the burner heads should be cleaned after each use.

Burner Grate:

The grate must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grate may result in chipping of the cooktop.

Do not operate burners without a pan on the grate. The grate's porcelain finish may chip without a pan to absorb the heat from the burner flame.

Although the burner grate is durable, it will gradually lose its shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Burner Caps:

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.

Porcelain Burner Basin

This area is located under the grill and surface burners and should be cleaned after each use of the grill.

To remove light soil, clean with soapy water or with a cleaner such as 409 ^® . For easier cleanup, soak paper towels in a household cleanser, lay in the burner basin and soak for at least a half hour or longer.

To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet ^® , Bon Ami ^® , a soft scrub cleanser or plastic scrubber.

To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner. Let soak overnight. Wipe clean. Rinse and dry.

7 BLOWER TO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT

In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged because it can cause severely restricted airflow. However, if the blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do NOTalign well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to an offset. Good alignment without use of flexible ducting is best.

NOTE:

Do not exceed the maximum recommended offset of 6".

Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.

Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.

NOTE: Illustrations are for planning purposes only.

PREPARATION

8 PLAN THE DUCT RUN

  1. Make a sketch of the total system. Identify the type of each fitting and the length of straight pipe. Refer to the examples on page 25.
  2. Enter your run into the Duct Length Chart on page 25. Elbows, wall caps and other fittings are shown in the chart with their equivalent straight duct length. Each fitting value must be added to the amount of straight duct length used to determine the overall straight duct equivalent length. Use the following examples as a guide.
  3. Using good quality ducting material, install per these instructions. A few minutes and pennies spent now will pay long term dividends for the life of the cooktop.

9 INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

  • Ducting must conform to local code materials.
  • IMPORTANT: Save for local electrical inspector's use.
  • Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6" round or 3 14 " x 10" size, or a combination of both.
    NOTE: Local building codes must be followed in specifying approved type and schedule of ALL duct used.
  • Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with damper.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - INSTALL THE DUCTWORK - 1

text_image Through cabinet toe space Between floor joist

Downward venting

  • Laundry type wall caps should NEVER be used.
    • Install ductwork, making male-female connections in the direction of airflow as shown. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and duct tape to assure an airtight seal.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - INSTALL THE DUCTWORK - 2

text_image Air flow Duct tape over seam and screw Screw
  • Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible. For satisfactory performance, the duct run should not exceed 100 feet equivalent length.
  • Use the Duct Length Chart on page 25 to find the equivalent length of the run.
  • Ducting a cooktop is easy but critical for proper performance.
    • After reading these instructions, plan the duct run.
    • Install the duct hardware.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:

  1. Use quality metal duct of at least 26-gauge galvanized or 24-gauge aluminum. Inferior quality pipe and fittings can cause up to twice the restriction shown and are a poor value. See the Prepare for DuctWork section of this manual for optional under-slab ducting. Local codes may require a heavier gauge material or restrict PVC.
  2. Distance between adjacent fittings (elbows, transitions, etc.) should be at least 18". The farther the better. Closer distance promotes turbulence which reduces airflow.
  3. The number of downstream elbows or transitions should be limited to three.
  4. Handmade crimps are likely to cause restrictions.
  5. If an alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain duct size is not reduced and that there is a backdraft damper. It is best to use listed caps to be certain of proper performance.
  6. Thermal breaks: In areas of extreme cold weather, it may be necessary to provide a short length of nonmetallic duct as close to the wall as possible to prevent conduction along the metal duct.
  7. High altitude installations: It is advisable to reduce allowable duct run by 20%.
  8. Follow the duct calculation in this manual carefully for best performance and satisfaction.

  • For all connections, use a pipe sealant approved by local codes and resistant to the activity of L.P. gas.
    • Install the pressure regulator in the gas line as close to the cooktop inlet as possible to allow clearance for ventilation ducting.
  • Make sure the arrow on the body of the regulator is pointing straight up and toward the cooktop. Any other position will affect the output pressure of the regulator. This arrow indicates correct gas flow direction.
    • Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible location.

11 INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND CONNECT (cont.)

NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect to the pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal appliance connector may be used between the shut-off valve and the pressure regulator, if local codes permit.

Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are required at each end of the flexible connector.

Make sure all the knobs are in the off position. Hook up the gas line and check for leaks.

TEST FOR LEAKS

WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK

FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop until all connections have been leak tested.

Perform leak test per the following instructions:

  1. Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
  2. When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the gas supply valve to ON.
  3. Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution around all connections from the shut-off valve to the cooktop.
  4. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
  5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again. If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and contact your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate the cooktop if a leak is present.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the cooktop and the individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig. Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shut-off valve to the cooktop during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

Check to determine if your burner flames are normal. If burner flames look like A, turn off the burner and make sure all parts are assembled correctly. Reassemble and check. Normal burner flames should look like B or C, depending on the type of gas you use. With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

D Turn the knob to OFF.
E Repeat the procedure for each burner.

5 ADJUST THE LOW FLAME (SIMMER) SETTING

The top burner valves have low flame/simmer adjustment screws accessible through the valve switches. A flashlight may be needed to locate the screw. A small, thin-blade screwdriver (approximately 1/8"blade width) is needed to access the screw.

A Light two other burners and set the knobs to a medium to high setting.
B Light the burner to be adjusted and turn the knob to LOW.
C To make adjustment, remove the control knobs. Insert a screwdriver through the access hole in the valve switch. Engage the adjustment screw in the valve.

If the flames were too small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting.

If the flames are too large, close the valve more than the original setting.

GE Profile JGP990WELWW - ADJUST THE LOW FLAME (SIMMER) SETTING - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a hand using a pipette to apply liquid onto small circular objects on a tray (no text or symbols)

D Make the adjustment by slowly turning the screw until the flame appearance is correct. For the left side, install the grill burner for the adjustment. The left side cannot be turned down as low as the right side if the grill burner is to be used.

Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass screw as follows:

Low setting adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the low flame from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.

E Testing Flame Stability:

Test 1: Turn the knob from HI to LOW quickly. If the LOW flame goes out, increase the flame size and test again.
Test 2: With the burner on the LOW setting, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and test again.
Test 3: With the burner on the LOW setting, turn the downdraft vent fan to the HI position. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the downdraft vent fan, increase the flame size and test again.

⑤ ADJUST THE LOW FLAME (SIMMER) SETTING(cont.)

F Flame Recheck:

Repeat the adjustment for each burner. After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off. Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame at the HI position. Rotate the valve to the LOW position and be sure that the flame size decreases as the valve is rotated counterclockwise.

⑥ CONVERTING BACK TO NATURAL GAS

To convert the cooktop back to natural gas, reverse the steps taken to convert to LP.

Right Front (RF)10,000 .0550 NAT

Once the conversion is complete and checked OK, fill out the LP sticker and include your name, organization and date conversion was made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted to LP gas. If converting back to natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas.

NOTE: For operation at elevations above 5000 ft. (1500 m), equipment ratings shall be reduced at a rate of 2% for each 1000 ft. (300 m) above sea level before selecting appropriately sized equipment, i.e.: Use smaller orifices.
