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 20 on page 24).
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.
Note: It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the
range has been properly leveled.
• Each range has a pair of casters adjacent to the rear
legs (see Figure 19). The casters make moving the
range easier by slightly lifting the front and allowing the
casters to glide the range back towards its installed
position.
• The range has (4) leveling legs that are threaded into
the cast aluminum base structure. 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.
• Progression of the height adjustments should be
alternated proportionally between the four legs, until
the top edges of the range's side panels are close to
matching the countertop height.
• Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
Caster Locations
• 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 12). This
can be verified by viewing through the opening near
the floor.
• 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.
