Air Adjustment, Leveling the Range

Page 50 highlights

Installation Instructions 8 ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS IF NECESSARY Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames. Air adjustment shutter Loosen The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven. Loosen Air adjustment shutter The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back wall behind the warming drawer. Remove the drawer. See the Care and cleaning of the range section. To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed. The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady with approximately 1″ blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle. 8 ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS IF NECESSARY (CONT.) Oven bottom To remove the oven bottom: A. Remove the screws holding down the rear of the oven bottom. B. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side. C. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, push it back, and then pull it up and out. 9 LEVELING THE RANGE A. Install the oven racks in the oven and position the range where it will be installed. Lower range Raise range Lower range Leg leveler Raise range (on some models) (on some models) B. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the oven racks. If using a spirit level, take two readings-with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other. C. Remove the drawer. See the Care and cleaning of the range section. The front leveling legs can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear legs can be adjusted from the top or the bottom. D. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs until the range is level. E. After the range is level, slide the range away from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be installed. To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properly, remove the oven bottom. 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. 50

NECESSARY

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners
regulate the flow of air to the flames.
The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in
the center of the rear wall of the oven.
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back
wall behind the warming drawer. Remove the drawer. See
the
Care and cleaning of the range
section.
To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the
Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter toward
open or closed position as needed.
The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady with
approximately 1
blue cones and should not extend out
over the edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning
properly, remove the oven bottom. 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.

A.
Install the oven racks in the oven and position the
range where it will be installed.
B.

partially filled with water, on one of the oven racks.
If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level
placed diagonally first in one direction and then the
other.
C.
Remove the drawer. See the
Care and cleaning of the
range
section. The front leveling legs can be adjusted
from the bottom and the rear legs can be adjusted
from the top or the bottom.
D.
Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the
leveling legs until the range is level.
E.
After the range is level, slide the range away from the
