LEVELING THE RANGE
Leveling legs are located on each corner of the base
of the range. Your range must be level in order to
produce proper cooking and baking results. After it is
in its final location, place a level horizontally on any
oven shelf and check the levelness front to back and
side to side. Level the range by adjusting the leveling
legs or by placing shims under the corners as needed. One of the rear leveling legs will engage the Anti-Tip
device (allow for some side to side adjustment).
Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8 inch between the
range and the leveling leg that is to be installed into
the Anti-Tip device.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FLOORING UNDER THE RANGE
Your range, like 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
instructions be followed. The range should be installed on a 1/4-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 will 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.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the
broiler pan can catch fire the next time you use
the pan.
• When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
• Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, turn off the oven control, and keep broiler
drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
• Never leave jars of fat drippings on or near
your range.
Self-Cleaning Oven
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the Self-Clean cycle.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven to OFF and disconnect the power
supply. Have serviced by a qualified technician.
