Why does my new GE Ranges smell like it's burning?

How to adjust the temperature on my GE Ranges?
If the oven temperature of your GE Ranges is too hot or too cold, see the Special Features section.
Why are my GE JBS65 surface units not working properly?
Your GE Ranges surface units may not be working because a fuse in your home may be blown, or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, check to see if the cooktop controls are improperly set and ensure the correct control is set for the surface unit you are using.
Why is the 'DOOR LOCK' light on when I want to cook on my GE JBS65 Ranges?
If the DOOR LOCK light is on when you want to cook with your GE Ranges, press the Cancel/Off pad and allow the oven to cool, as the oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below the locking temperature.
Why does the 'LOCK DOOR' light flash on my GE JBS65?
If the "LOCK DOOR" flashes in the display of your GE Ranges, close and latch the oven door, as the self-clean cycle has been selected but the door is not closed.
How to reduce smoke when broiling in my GE JBS65 Ranges?
If you experience excessive smoking during a broiling in your GE Ranges, lower the rack position of the food.

Why does the surface unit of my GE Ranges stop glowing on low?
If the surface unit on your GE Ranges stops glowing when turned to a lower setting, this is normal; the unit is still on and hot.
How to improve the heating of GE Ranges surface units?
If the surface units on your GE Ranges aren't maintaining a rolling boil, ensure you're using flat-bottomed pans that match the diameter of the surface unit. Low voltage can also be a factor; covering the pan with a lid can help retain heat until the desired temperature is reached.
