Do you need a backsplash “Tile” for behind the stove? null

Hi - Thanks for considering GE Model JGS760BELTS! A tile backsplash is not required. We suggest viewing the Installation Guide at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-11061-1.pdf - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

Backsplash not required (I have just plain drywall) but I do plan on having the kitchen countertops replaced that will incorporate a backsplash in the stove area and beyond.

Does not require it. I've only had it for a week but I don't think you need it. I'm not planning on it.

I don’t have a backsplash behind mine and it is fine. I have a knotty pine wall behind it. Hope that helps.

Yes you need a backsplash that goes 6" from the top of the stove up the wall. Stainless steel will not pass inspection as the heat will transfer from burner into wall. We just did over the whole kitchen and failed inspection due to this. The old fashioned stove with the controls in the back passed as it created this buffer. Wish I had known this upfront.
