For proper baking results, the range must be leveled. The height of the range must also be adjusted to the
height of the counter.
To do this:
1. Install the oven racks (see cleaning sections of the Use and Care Manual for instructions and additional

2. Use a 1 3/8" open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the four leg levelers until the flanges
(rims) on the sides of the cooktop are above the top of the counter.
3. Place range where it will be installed. Put a spirit level or glass . cup partially filled with water on
one of the open racks.
4. Use the wrench to adjust the leg levelers. Spirit
