5.Remove cardboard shipping base from under range. Open broiler door. 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.

6.Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

•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 the “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 removed from 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.
