Before You Call for Service
For most concerns, try these
first:
•

Check to be sure plug is securely inserted
into receptacle.
•
Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or
replace fuse.

become hotter or cooler.

Be sure the anti-tip bracket se-
cures one of the rear leveling legs
to the floor to prevent the range

The range should be leveled
when installed. If the range is
not level, turn the plastic lev-
eling legs, located at
each corner of
the range, un-
til range is
level.
