the oven rack. Adjust
the leveling legs at the
base of the range until
the oven rack is level.
•
Insure the floor is level
and strong and stable
enough to adequately
support the range.
The floor is sagging or
sloping.
Contact a carpenter to
correct the situation.
The kitchen cabinets are not
properly aligned and make
the range appear to be not
level.
Insure the cabinets are
square and provide
sufficient room for
installation.
The appliance
must be accessed
for servicing and
cannot be moved
easily.
The kitchen cabinets are not
square and too close to the
appliance.

until the desired heat is
obtained.

will not turn on.

when it is hot. This is
temporary and will
disappear as the glass
cools.
