Adjust Leveling Legs

1. If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or pliers
to loosen the four leveling legs.
This may be done with the range on its back or with the range
supported on two legs after the range has been placed back to
a standing position.
NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using two
or more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or
hardboard.
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation
instructions.
Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed
and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children and adults.
2. Measure the distance from the top of the counter to the floor.
3. Measure the distance from the top of the cooktop to the
bottom of the leveling legs. This distance should be the same.
If it is not, adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. The
leveling legs can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1"
(2.5 cm). A minimum of 3/16" (5 mm) is needed to engage the
anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing,
tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, and then tilt forward
to adjust the rear legs.
4. When the range is at the correct height, check that there is
adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket.
Before sliding range into its final location, check that the anti-
tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear leveling
leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation.
NOTE: If a Trim Kit will be used, the top of the cooktop should
be higher than the counter. See the Installation Instructions
included with the Trim Kit for the correct height.
