  • QuestionIs this stove a 100% gas stove. i di not want and electric ignition on my stove. GE-4.8 Cu, Ft, Freestanding Gas Range- White

    Asked by Gas.

    • Answer Hi - Thanks for viewing our GE Gas Ranges! Model JGBS30DEKWW has an electronic ignition system. The automatic pilotless ignition (also called automatic electric or automatic electronic ignition) saves energy by eliminating the task of lighting the burners. It also saves money by using 30% 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 ignitor system, electricity simply sparks when 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 cooktop surface is cool to the touch when not in use because there is no pilot light burning continuously. The glow bar in the oven will cycle on and off with the oven temperature. We do not offer a model with a standing pilot. Also, check out our Hotpoint range model RGB518PCHWH with Cordless Ignition. A 9 volt battery supplies the power to the electronic igniters. Depending on the use of the range the battery is estimated to last 3 years. Cordless gas ranges may also be referred to as battery-operated ignition gas ranges. Thanks for checking with us! SUE@GEA

  • Questiondoes this stove run on propane gas

    Asked by scrooge.

    • Answer We appreciate you considering GE Appliances. I am happy to help. This model comes from the factory set for natural gas. A conversion kit is included to convert to LP. GE Appliances recommends a qualified installer or servicer convert the gas range, oven, or cooktop 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. I hope this helps. Thank you for checking with us. Lisa from GE Appliances.

  • QuestionTime back? yes? It can turn off automatically when back time is over?

    Asked by NickNamechoose1.

    • Answer Hi - Model JGBS30DEKWW is not equipped with a clock/timer. Models with no clock or timer do not have automatic shutdown. Most ovens and ranges with touch pad clock controls will automatically shut off after 12 hours. The benefit of this is the peace-of-mind and energy savings if the oven is accidentally left on. GE® 30" Free-Standing Gas Range JGBS60DEKWW has an electronic clock and timer with auto 12 hour shut-off. Thanks for viewing GE. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

  • QuestionWhat is the purpose for a cord on this gas range if it has no clock or timers?

    Asked by JuliusL.

    • Answer Hi JuliusL - The range has an electronic ignition, therefore, requires 120V/15A. The automatic pilotless 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. Thanks for your interest! Sue

  • QuestionDoes the oven only go with gas? because the last gas stove i had the oven went with electricity and i dont want another stove like that.

    Asked by Candi.

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

    • Answer Hi Candi- The cooktop burners and oven operate on Natural gas (LP Conversion Kit included if converted to LP). It also requires a 120V 15 Amp electric circuit to operate the electronic ignition. 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. 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.
