My GE 40" P*7

[xraytech]

About 3 years ago I picked this nice 40" GE up for $30 at a nice Mt. Lebanon home.
It has been sitting under plastic in storage since then, since it was such a nice day it seemed like a good time to bring it home and clean it up.
Next step is to get a cord on it and see if it works before putting it in my kitchen in place of the 2007 Frigidaire.

Info plate.
Hopefully someone can tell me a year of manufacture.

Next thing I need to find a range hood to go with it

Looks great. Does the smaller oven open down or to the side? I miss outlets on ranges. Looks one of the burners is temp sensing and the full-size oven is self-cleaning. Swag!

Sam,

Here's a link to a cheat sheet to help you determine the age of your GE range.

Eugene:

That full-size oven is the only oven on this model - the other side is storage. The giveaway is the presence of three knobs on the control panel - one Oven Set, one Oven Temp, and the Sensi-Temp knob. On double-oven models, you have two Oven Set knobs and two Oven Temp knobs, for a total of five.

Unless, of course, it's a late model with rotary controls instead of push-buttons for the burners, then you're up to nine knobs on a TOL double-oven range.

This is a very nice range, and not a common one. Not that many people opted for it - they either cheaped out or went straight for the TOL. This range has what most people really need, and some extra storage besides.

Sandy is correct, this is a single oven model with a slide out storage area perfect for baking pans.
As much as I like a double oven the storage is more important in this kitchen

1967

Nice range. That GE serial number "cheat sheet" link above is useful, but it doesn't always work for 1960s appliances, when GE did some weird things with serial numbers. For example, your serial number letters (CZ or ZCZ) don't appear in the cheat sheet.

 

However, your range is a 1967, based on the letter "C" in the model (not the serial) number -- J449C1WH. See reply #5 in this thread, where bajaespuma lays it out for you:

P.S. I have a similar GE 40" range -- albeit with 2 ovens and a few other features, but without a door window -- from 1966. (My range is shown in reply #4 in the other thread linked above.)
