Leveling the Range
H1
Checking the Range
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 Owner's Manual for instructions and
additional information).
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 measuring cup partially filled
with water on one of the open racks.
4. Use the wrench to adjust the leg levelers.

Adjusting the height of the range to match that of the cabinet height
The height of the range must be adjusted to the countertop height. For countertop heights greater than
37", additional measurements may need to be taken as detailed below.
When the range is elevated to the maximum height, there is a large space between the bottom of the
range and the floor, referred to as the toe space. This may be visually objectionable. The legs should
not be extended any further than to provide a maximum
of 3" toe space.
The range is designed to provide a minimum of 1" air gap
at the bottom of the range. (Example: When legs are
screwed all the way into the base rail).
This gap is very important to the proper ventilation of the range and must be maintained when
treating the appearance of the toe space.
The following is a suggested method of making a filler for the toe space when the legs are
extended as mentioned before.
After the range is installed with the longer legs and is in
position and level, measure from the bottom of the bodyside
to the floor. This will be the required height of the toe space
filler. This height may range from 2 1/16" to 3". Any height
less than 2 1/16" may not be visually objectionable and not
need the filler.
Build the filler as shown. Make sure to provide the 3/4" gap
at the top and the 5/16" gap at the bottom. These gaps will
provide the proper ventilation as mentioned before.
If you wish to attach the filler to the floor or adjacent
cabinets, use screws or other removable fasteners, so that
the range can be readily removed if necessary.
