The range must be level.Levelingfeet are

located at each corner ofthe base ofthe range.
Removethe storage drawer or kick panel

(depending on your model) and using channel
locks, rotate the levelingfeet in and out as
required to levelthe range. For instructions on

how to remove and replace the storage drawer or
the kick panel, see the CleaningUnder the Wnge
section in Care and Cleaning.) On some models,
there are plasticcovers which may be removed
for easy adjustment Qustsqueeze and pull).

One of the rear levelingfeet willengage the

~TI-T’IP bracket (allowfor some side to side

adjustment). Allowa minimum clearance of 1/81’
between the range and the levelingfoot that is to
be installed into the ~TI-TIP bracket.

Check the range for proper installationinto the
NTI-TIP bracket (after the range has been
properly installed) by grasping the edges ofti~e

~~ burner holes and carefully attempting to
tilt the range forward.
