Level Range 1. Place a rack in oven. 2. Place level on rack and check levelness of range, first side to side; then front to back. Adjust Flame Height Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop "low" burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm) high. A 3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip bracket. On Ranges Equipped with Storage Drawers: Use a ¼" drive ratchet, wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. On Ranges Equipped with Warming Drawers: Use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level. Push range back into position. 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 "LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to "LITE." When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas. Check Operation of Cooktop Burners Standard Surface Burners Push in and turn each control knob to the "LITE" position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line. If burners do not light properly: ■ Turn cooktop control knob to the "OFF" position. ■ Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown. ■ Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open" position. ■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases. Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to "Off" and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance. B A. Low flame B.

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
“LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to
“LITE.”
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking
occurs and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
If burners do not light properly:
Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.
Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit
breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the
control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized
service company for assistance.
Adjust Flame Height

flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm)
high.

center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly
underneath the control knob.
If the “low” flame needs to be adjusted:
1.
Light 1 burner and turn to lowest setting.
2.
