Servicing and Cleaning

Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main

power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve.

Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service drawer

(warmer drawer on some models) and open the oven door.

Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out

opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas

conduit. Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at

the back of the range when replacing the unit into the cut-

out opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch

on the electrical power and gas to the range.
