OCCURRENCE
Range is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
Surface burners do not light.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When oven is
level, cooktop may not appear to be level with countertop.
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range.
Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure
cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct
the problem.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted
over carpet.
Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible A.G.A./C.G.A. approved metal
appliance connector installed.
Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn
the Surface Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control to
desired flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle
to clean ports. See "Surface Burners" in the cleaning chart under General
Cleaning for additional cleaning instructions.
Range power cord is disconnected from outlet. Be sure cord is securely plugged
into the outlet.
Electric power outage. Burners can be lit manually. See Setting Surface
Controls in this Owner's Guide.

The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective
workmanship or materials in this appliance.
Changing Oven Light
(some models)
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before
replacing the surface or oven lights. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection
against possible broken glass.
To Change the Oven Light (some models)
On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is
opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on
the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven.
To replace the oven light:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
4. The clock(if equipped) will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the
Clock and Minute Timer in this Owner's Guide.
