The DC6 is designed to stand on a flat and level surface, however, any unevenness may be overcome by adjusting the four levelling feet, one at each corner of the base plate. The adjusting screws are accessed by removing left and right hand hotplate castings (See section ‘To Remove Hotplate Castings - Servicing Section Page 50).
FITTING OF HOTPLATE CASTING AND PAN SUPPORTS HOTPLATE CASTINGS 1. Attach earth cable from centre casting to cooker chassis and locate over burner bodies. Repeat for LH and RH castings and that the gaskets are fitted where the outer castings overlap centre castings.
