| Moving the Appliance for
Servicing and Cleaning
Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the
main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off
valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service
drawer (warmer drawer on some models) and open the
oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out
of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain
on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch
the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when
replacing the unit into the cut-out opening. Replace
the drawer, dose the door and switch on the electrical
power and gas to the range.
| Range Installation
Important Note: Door removal is not a requirement for
installation of the range, but is an added convenience.
Refer to the Use
and Care Guide for
oven door removal
instructions.

For models equipped with Leveling Device:
_Make sure the front leveling legs and the rear
leveling device are setup higher than the height of
the cabinet.
__ Install the anti-tip bracket at this
point before placing the range at its final
position. Follow the installation instructions on
page 10 or on the anti-tip bracket template supplied
with the range.
_To provide an optimum installation, the top surface
of the countertop must be level and flat (lie on the
same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent
to range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make
the top flat should be made or gaps between the
countertop and the range cooktop may occur.
| _1_i_ To reduce the risk of damaging your
appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the
ceramic glass. Manipulate with care.
_Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
|Make sure that the cooktop glass which overhangs
the countertop clears the countertop. If necessary,
raise the unit by lowering the leveling legs.
_Slide the range into the cutout opening and center
it before leveling it.
_Level the range. The floor where the range is to
be installed must be level. Follow the instructions
under "Leveling the Range- Models Equipped with
Leveling Device".
_Adjust leveling legs so that the underside of the
cooktop is sitting on the countertop. Carefully screw
in (refer to Leveling the range: Models equipped
with Leveling Device") the back leveling leg until
the cooktop glass overhang touches slightly the
countertop. Then carefully screw in the front two
leveling legs until the cooktop glass overhang
touches slightly the countertop.
