LEVELING THE RANGE

1. 

Remove the storage

drawer, broiler drawer or
kick panel.
2. Use a 3/16” open-end or
socket wrench to back out

both rear leveling legs

3. Use a 

 open-end or

adjustable wrench to back
out the front leveling legs
two turns.
4. Install the oven shelves in
the oven and position the range

where it will be installed.
5. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or
a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the

oven racks. If using a spirit level, take two
readings—with the level placed diagonally first
in one direction and then the other.
6. Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.
7. After the range is level, slide the range away

from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be
installed.
