8ADJUSTING THE OVEN BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER

To determine if the oven burner flames are burning properly, first remove the oven bottom.

Oven bottom

To remove the oven bottom:

1.Remove knurled screws holding down rear of oven bottom.

2.Grasp oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

3.Lift rear of oven bottom enough to clear the lip of range frame, then pull out.

With the oven bottom removed, properly adjusted flames should have approximately 1″ blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized.

The shutter for the oven burner is near the back wall of the oven and behind the broiler drawer.

To remove the broiler drawer:

1.Pull the drawer out until it stops, then push it back in about one inch.

2.Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out.

Loosen

Air adjustment shutter

Metal shield

Remove the metal shield at the rear of the cavity. The air adjustment shutter is behind this shield. To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter to allow more or less air into the burner tube.

9LEVELING THE RANGE

1.Remove the storage drawer, broiler drawer or kick panel.

2.Use a 3/16″ open-end or

socket wrench to back out both rear leveling legs approximately two turns.

3. Use a 13⁄8″ open-end or adjustable wrench to back out the front leveling legs two turns.

4. Install the oven shelves in the oven and position the range where it will be installed.

5.Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.

6.Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

7.After the range is level, slide the range away from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed.
