Step 9: Placing and Leveling
the Range
CAUTION:
The top edges of the range's side panels must be on the
same or higher level as the adjacent countertop. If the
range is operated while at a lower height relative to the
adjacent cabinet, the cabinet could be exposed to
excessive temperatures, causing damage to the cabinet
and countertop (see Figure 27 on page 25).
For proper performance, the range must be level. This is
especially important for all products that have the griddle
feature. Priority should be placed on ensuring that the oven
cavities are also level for optimum cooking performance.
The 30" and 36" models have a total of (4) leveling legs,
one beneath each corner, that are threaded into the cast
aluminum base structure; 48" models have (6).
1. The range is leveled by rotating the legs using an 12"
(305mm) adjustable wrench on the flat sides of each
foot.
• It is suggested to measure the counter top heights
first with a tape measure and adding an additional
1/16" - 1/8" (2-3mm), then adjusting the legs
accordingly prior to pushing the range back to its
final location.

2. Progression of the height adjustments should be
alternated proportionally between the four corner legs,
until the top edges of the range's side panels are close
to matching the counter top height.
• Rotating the right front leveling leg clockwise will
raise the right corner of the door. Rotating the right
front leveling leg counterclockwise will lower the
right side of the door. Rotating the left front leveling
leg will result in the opposite effect.
• Rotating the front center leveling leg (48" models
only) clockwise will raise the left corner of the large
door and right corner of the small door. Rotating
the front center leveling leg counterclockwise will
result in the opposite effect.
3. Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
4. With the range in the installed position, the final height
adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure
proper alignment to the counter top.
