5.Remove cardboard shipping base from under range. Open broiler drawer. Use a 3/8" drive ratchet to lower rear leveling legs one- half turn. Use channel lock pliers to lower front leveling legs one-half turn.

Before moving range across floor, check that range is still on cardboard shipping base to protect floor covering.

•Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

7.If installing the range in a mobile

home, you MUST secure the range to the floor. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to “Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,” Page 2.

8.Place rack in oven. Place level on rack, first side to side; then front to back.

If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is free of the anti-tip bracket. Use 3/8" drive ratchet and channel lock pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until range is level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.

Note: Oven must be level for satisfactory baking conditions.
