Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and
Engaged
1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the
oven door to keep the unit from moving, and grasp the lower
right- or left-hand side of the control panel as shown.
NOTE: If your countertop is mounted with a backsplash, it
may be necessary to grasp the range higher than is shown in
the illustration.
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 1/2" (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.
Changes to the gas supply must be performed by a qualified
service technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to
the “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 1/2" (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 “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.
Check that the flexible conduit or power supply cord are not
bent.
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking performance.
Electronic Ignition System
Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments
Cooktop 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.
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 valve is 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.
Tap Touch Surface Burners (On Some Models)
Tap the “On” pad for the cooktop control.
Tap the “+” or “-” pads to adjust the cooktop burner flame
height. 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.
