Installing
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of’ flooring, it should be installed on a l/4- inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows: When the floor covering erz~.r at the from of the ran,ge, the area the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling
Use a 1%” open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the 4 legs. The flanges (rims) below the sides of the cooktop must be raised above the top of the countertop. Carefully slide the range into its installation space. Observe that it is clearing the countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take two readings, with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
P.djust the 4 legs carefully. Level the range front to back and side to
side. The range legs must rest on the floor. The range must not hang from the countertop.
.
Removing Packaging Materials
Please check your range to insure all packaging materials and protective tape covering are removed from areas, such as the door trim, cooktop frame, etc. before using.
