Installation Instructions

Leveling

For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs. (Refer to Storage Drawer section).

To level the range:

1. Use a 1-1/4” open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew

the four leveling legs two to three turns each.

2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.

3. Move the range to its final position, then put a spirit level on the rack to

check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and then the other.

4. Use the 1-1/4” key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range stands firm without wobbling.

5.Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.

If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some models) to prevent the range from moving.

If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.

NOTE: All knobs shown in this owner's Guide are typical only.

1.Place the pan on the surface element.

2.Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.

3.The Element On indicator lights are located on the control panel between two element control knobs, one on each side, and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. Always turn the element off before removing the pan.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too close to the element.

DO NOT use the surface element in self-clean mode. During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life, do not use the surface element during a self-clean cycle.
