LEVELING THE RANGE

1.Remove the storage drawer, broiler drawer or kick panel.

2.Use a 3/16” open- end or socket wrench to back out both rear leveling legs approximately two turns.

3.Use a l%” open-end or adjustable wrench to back out the front leveling legs two turns.

4.Install the oven shelves in the oven and
