Leveling The Range - GE JGSP23 Installation Instructions Manual

Installation Instructions
Leveling the Range
Checking Range
the
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
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. I_' J Y' J _ " '

screwed all the way into the base rail), t 1"Min.Height
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.
