For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pans should have fiat bottoms.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom. There should be
no gap between the pan and ruler.

its intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer s instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.

over more than one burner because
it could damage your cooktop.

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.
To level the range:
1. Use a 11/4" 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 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 ] 1/4" 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.
