Flooring under
the Range
Your range, like so many other
household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor
coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or carpeting. When moving
the range on this type of flooring,
use care, and it is recommended
that these simple and inexpensive
instructions be followed,,
The range should be installed on
a t/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood
(or' similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends
at the front of the range, the area
that the range wilt rest on should
be built up with plywood to the
same level or' higher than the
floor covering, This will allow
the range to be moved for cleaning
or' servicing
Leveling the Range
Use a t ¼" open-end or adjustable
wrench to equally back out the
four legs. The flanges (rims) below
the sides of' the maintop must be
raised above the top of the
countertop Carefully slide the
range into its installation space
Observe that it is clearing the
countertopo Then place a spMt
level or a glass measuring cup
partially filled with water on one
of the oven shelves to check for
levetness_ If using a spirit level,
take two readings, with the level
placed diagonally first in one
direction and then the other,
Adjust the four legs carefully,,
Level the range front to back and
side to side, The range legs must
rest on the floor, The range must
not hang fr'om the countertop,
EnergyoSaving Tips
• Preheat the oven only when
necessary,, Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating,
If you find preheating is necessary,
listen for' the beep and put food in
the oven promptly after the oven
is preheated,
• Always turn oven OFF before
removing food,
, During baking, avoid frequent
door openings, Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it is
opened,
• Cook complete oven meals
instead ofjust one food item,
Potatoes, other' vegetables and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf; chicken or' roast, Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time
• Use residual heat in oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc, Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them,,
