Step 9: Placing And Leveling The Range - Thermador PROFESSIONAL PRO GRAND PRD364WLGU Installation Instructions Manual

STEP 9: Placing and Leveling
the Range
Leveling Leg Adjustment
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 30).
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 range has (4) leveling legs that are threaded into the
base structure.
1. Measure the countertop heights first with a tape
measure and add an additional 1/16'' - 1/8'' (2-3 mm).

Installation Instructions
1/16''-1/8'' 1/16''-1/8'' 1/16''-1/8''
(2-3 mm) (2-3 mm) (2-3 mm)
2. Rotate the legs using a 12'' (305 mm) adjustable
wrench on the flat sides of each foot. Adjust the legs
accordingly prior to pushing the range back to its final
location.
3. 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.
4. Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
5. As the range is moved into its final, installed position,
verify that the "hook" on the Anti-Tip Bracket is in a
position to engage the back edge of the cast base (see
"STEP 5: Installing Anti-Tip Device" on page 15). This
can be verified by viewing through the opening near
the floor.
6. With the range in the installed position, the final height
adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure
proper alignment to the countertop.
