For proper cooking and baking, the range
must be leveled. Leveling legs are located
on each corner at the base of the range.

(see Using the oven
section for instructions).
Put a spirit level or a glass
measuring cup partially
filled with water on one
of the oven shelves.

Turn the legs clockwise
to raise the range and
counterclockwise to
lower the range. Adjust
the leveling legs until
the range is level.

Install the sleeve anchor into the drilled hole
and then install the lag bolt through the
device. The bolts must be properly tightened
as recommended for the hardware.
Slide the range against the wall, and check
for proper installation by grasping the front
edge of the cooktop and carefully
attempting to tilt the range forward.

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed

(RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire
ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure
to remove these materials could result in
damage to the appliance once the appliance
has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

is securely installed.
