To Reinstall the Oven Door:
1. Position the door at a slight angle and insert the hinges
into the hinge slots - one on each side of the range.
The hinges will securely hook into the slots when
properly installed. Do not force, bend, or twist the door.
2. Open door all the way to expose hinge clips. Push
hinge clips away from you (toward the oven) until they
meet the hinge.
Tip:
• Rest the door on your foot while using your leg for
stability.
3. Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to push the
hinge clips all the way into the hinge slots. Be careful
not to scratch the range during this process.
To Check Door Fit and Operation:
1. Open and close the door slowly to test the movement
and the fit of the door to the oven cavity. Do not force
the door to open or close. If the door is properly
installed, it should move smoothly and rest straight on
the front of the range when closed.
2. If the door does not operate correctly, verify that the
hinges are properly seated into the hinge slots, and
that the hinge clips are fully engaged into the slots.
Step 9: Placing and Leveling
the Range
For proper performance, the range must be level.
(This is very important for all products that have the
griddle feature.)
The range has four (4) leveling legs that are threaded
into the sheet metal base structure. The range is
leveled by rotating the legs using a 318" socket or a
wrench on the hex flats at the top of each leg, or using
an adjustable wrench on the flats on the sides of the
foot.
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.
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 15.)
Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
As the range is moved into its final, installed position,
verify that one of the rear feet has properly engaged
the Anti-Tip Bracket. (See Step 4.) This can be verified
by viewing through the opening near the floor with the
Kick Panel removed.
NOTICE:
Due to their size and weight distribution, the 48" ranges
do not require the use of the Anti-Tip Bracket.
• 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.
Note:
It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range
has been properly leveled.
After the range is properly leveled, replace the Kick
Panel and reinstall the Oven Door. (See Step 8 for door
installation.) It is important that the two (2) screws
retaining the kick panel are secure to prevent
accidental access to hot surfaces.
Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on
the burner bases of the range's cooktop.
