Step 3: Unpacking, Moving and Placing The Range

Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom (See Fig. 6).

After transporting the professional range by dolly close to its final location, the range can be tipped back and supported on the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed. THE

FLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BEFORE PUSHING THE UNIT INTO POSITION. The anti-tip device must be installed (Step 4), gas and electrical connections should be made (Steps 5 and 6), and the backguard installed (Step 7) before the range is placed in its final position.

For proper performance the range must be level. (It is very important for all products that have the griddle feature). The range is leveled by adjusting the legs with a wrench.

Replace the kick panel and install the oven door. To install door, see Page 17. Do not install the oven door until the range is in its final location. It is important that the two (2) screws retaining the kick panel are secure to prevent accidental access to hot sur- faces.

Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop.

Grill / Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not on all models)

Check the griddle adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws under the back of the griddle. Start with one half turn counter clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.
