9 Leveling the Range

The range must be level. Leveling feet are located at each corner of the base of the range. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on your model) and using channel locks, rotate the leveling feet in and out as required to level the range. (For instructions on how to remove and replace the storage drawer or the kick panel, see the Care and cleaning of the range section.)

On some models, there are plastic covers which may be removed for easy adjustment (just squeeze and pull).

One of the rear leveling feet will engage the Anti-Tip bracket (allow for some side to side adjustment). Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8″ between the range and the leveling foot that is to be installed into the Anti-Tip bracket.

Check the range for proper installation into the Anti-Tip bracket by removing the kick panel or storage drawer and inspecting the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

10 Final Check

Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving the range.
