Leveling screws are located on each corner of
the base of the range. Remove the bottom
drawer and you can level the range on an
uneven floor with the use of a nutdriver.

To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all
the way, tilt up the front and take it out. To
replace the drawer, insert glides at back of
the drawer beyond stop on the range glides.
Lift drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let the
front of drawer down, then push in to close.

One of the rear leveling screws will engage
the Anti-Tip device. Allow for some side to
side adjustment. Allow a minimum clearance
of 1/8

between the range and the leveling

screw that is to be installed into the Anti-Tip
device.

LEVELING THE RANGE

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry
and rivets on clothing.

Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.

Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.

Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.

Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.

Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The
weight may cause the top to break.

Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the cooktop and the pan.

Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE:

We recommend that you avoid

wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to
this. Please see 

Cleaning the glass cooktop

section.

When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean the
cooktop.

To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot. 

After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.

Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
