STEP 3 -- Range Installation

A. For safety considerations as well as optimum

performance, adjust the range so it is level and to
desired height prior to installing in cabinet opening.

NOTE: Cooktop MUST

be flush or above

countertop.

Levelness may be checked by placing a spirit level or
a large pan of water on the cooktop or oven rack.
Adjust the range by tipping it forward or back and
rotate the leveling feet as required.

NOTE: A minimum clearance of 1/4″ (6 mm) is
required between the range and the leveling foot that
will engage the anti-tip bracket, (see figure 2).

CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range
is moved or lifted by grasping the main top, backguard
or door handles.

B. Align the range to its designated location and prepare

to slide it back into position. Connect gas line and
plug in power cord to outlet following guidelines
outlined in connecting the range and remainder of
installation instructions.

C. Slide range in place visually inspecting to verify that

power cord and gas line are freely routed and
contained within recessed area of back panel.

D. To check the range for proper installation of the

anti-tip bracket, use a flashlight and look underneath
the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear
leveling feet is engaged in the bracket slot.
