The range must be leveled.Levelingfeet are

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

(dependingon your model), and using channel
locks,rotate the levelingfeet in and out as
required to level the range. (For instructions on
howto removeand replace the storage drawer or
the kick panel,-see CleaningU~~derthe Rangein
the Care and Cleaningsection. On some models
there are plasticcovers which maybe removed
for easy adjustment oust squeeze and pull).

One ofthe rear levelingfeet willengage the
ANTI-TIPbracket (allowfor some side to side
adjustment). Allowa minimumclearance of1/8’1
between the range and the levelingfootthat is to
be installed into the ANTI-TIPbracket.

Check the range for proper installationinto the
