AVOID SERVICE CHECK LIST

Before you call for service - read this

You may save the cost and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call by first reviewing this easy to use Avoid-
Service Check List of the most frequently encountered situations that are not the result of defective workmanship
of materials.

You will be charged for a service call while the appliance is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective
product workmanship or materials.

Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product.  Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for service
requires nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal operating
characteristic of appliance under certain conditions.

This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION

INSTALLATION

Range is not level.

RANGE DOES NOT OPERATE

Entire range does not operate.

Oven does not operate.

Poor installation.  See the suggested levelling instruction in the “General Informa-
tion” section of this manual.  When oven is level, cooktop may not appear to be level
with counter top if the latter is not level.

Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range.  Contact carpenter to correct
sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinets misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel.  Be sure
cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance (1.3 cm (1/2”) each
side).
