DRAWER

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can
remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under
the range.

Removing the storage drawer:

out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it
out to the second stop.

Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.

guides rest just inside the front frame lip.

2.

Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until the
metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear the
upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer
closed.
