Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Location
1. Move range close to cabinet opening.
2. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under the range. Using
2 or more people, gently move range into its final location.
3. To check that the anti-tip bracket is installed, use a flashlight
and look underneath the bottom of the range.
■ Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or
wall.
■ Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip
bracket.
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 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.
Adjust Flame Height
Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “LO” burner
flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm)
high.
To adjust standard burners:
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the
center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly
underneath the control knob.
If the “low” flame needs to be adjusted:
1. Light 1 burner and turn to lowest setting.
2. Remove the control knob.
Hold the knob stem in the low position using a pair of pliers. Use
a
¹⁄₈" (3.0 mm) flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in
the center of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper
size.
3. Replace the control knob.
4. Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”
checking the flame at each setting.
5. Repeat above steps for each burner.
A. Low flame
B. High flame
