For proper cooking and baking the range
must be leveled. Do not place range in cutout
until you are sure that the flanges below the
sides of the cooktop are above the top of the
counter. Lift cooktop to see flanges. Damage
to the cooktop could result if adjusted
improperly.
Install the oven racks (see use and care

B Use a 1-3/8" open end wrench or an
adjustable wrench to equally back out
the four leg levelers until the flanges
(rims) below the sides of the maintop are
above the top of the counter. Check by
measuring the height of the counter and
comparing it with the measurement from
the floor to the flanges below the sides of
the cooktop. Place range in cutout when
