Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and
Engaged
On models with a storage drawer:
1. Remove the storage drawer.
2. Use a flashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range.
3. Visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into the slot
of the anti-tip bracket.
On models with a warming drawer:
1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the
warming drawer to keep the range from moving, and grasp
the control panel with two hands as shown.
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
3. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently
back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip
bracket.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting
the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket.
Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from
sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the
bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the
mounting screws.
4. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the floor or wall.
5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm)
from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the
bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an
obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. If you
need assistance or service, refer to the “Assistance or Service”
section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or “Warranty”
section of the User Instructions, for contact information.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed
correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket
installed and engaged. Please reference the “Assistance or
Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or
“Warranty” section of the User Instructions, to contact
service.
Level Range
1. Place rack in oven.
2. Place level on rack and check levelness of range, first side to
side; then front to back.
3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket.
4. Use wrench to adjust leveling legs up or down until range is
level. Push range back into position.
5. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking performance.
Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use pilotless igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the
“LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to
“LITE.”
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar
igniter heats and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
If burners do not light properly:
■
Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.
■
Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has
not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
■
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
■
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the
control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized
service company for assistance.
