Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed
and Engaged
On Ranges Equipped with a Premium Storage Drawer:
1. Slide range into final location, making sure rear leveling leg
slides into anti-tip bracket.
2. Remove the premium storage drawer. See the "Remove/
Replace Drawer" section.
3. Use a flashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range.
4. Visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into the slot
of the anti-tip bracket.
On Ranges Equipped with a Warming Drawer or Baking
Drawer:
1. Slide range into final location, making sure rear leveling leg
slides into anti-tip bracket. Leave a 1" (2.5 cm) gap between
the back of the range and the back wall.
2. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the
warming drawer or baking drawer to keep the range from
moving, and then grasp the back of the range, as shown.
3. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Go to Step 8.
4. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently
back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip
bracket.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when
lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the
bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the
range from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from
sliding into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held
securely in place by the mounting screws.
5. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the floor or wall.
6. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
7. 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 ½" (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 "Warranty"
section of the User Guide to contact service.
8. Move the range into its final location. Check that the range is
level by placing a level on the oven bottom. See the "Level
Range" section.
IMPORTANT: If the range is moved to adjust the leveling
legs, verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged by repeating
steps 1 to 8.

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. All
cooktop burners will spark, but only the burner with the control
knob turned to the ignite position will produce a flame. This
sparking continues as long as the control knob is turned to the
ignite position.
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 ignite 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 into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. 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 the off position and contact your dealer or
authorized service company for assistance. Please reference the
"Warranty" section of the User Guide to contact service
If the cooktop "low" burner flame needs to be adjusted for any of
the burners, see the "Adjust Flame Height" section.
Check Operation of Oven Bake Burner
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press the Start pad.
The oven burner should light within 8 seconds. The first time
a burner is lit, it may take longer than 8 seconds to light
because of air in the gas line.
3. After 2 minutes, open the oven door and check that the oven
is warm.
If Burner Does Not Light Properly:
■ Press the Off pad.
■
Check that the range is plugged into a grounded 3 prong
