IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm) from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. Changes to the gas supply must be performed by a qualified service technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to the "Assistance or Service" section of the Use and Care Guide for contact information. 6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please reference the "Assistance or Service" section of the Use and Care Guide or the cover or "Warranty" section of the User Instructions to contact service. Level Range 1.

Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the 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 electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the "IGNITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface igniter heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner operates. A. Outer cone B. Inner cone 5. Turn the control knob quickly to the "LOW" position after the burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the control knob to the "OFF" position. 6. Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame size should be 1/4" to 3/8" (6.4 mm to 9.5 mm) high. If the low flame needs adjusting: 1. Turn control knob to the "LOW" setting and remove control knob. 2. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned from "HIGH" to "LOW." Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn left to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop burners as needed. A A. Valve stem 3. Replace control knob. 10
