INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack Range

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range. Keep cardboard bottom under range.

2.Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.

3.To place range on its back, take 4 cardboard corners from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid on its back.

4.Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

5.Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.

6.Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs.

7.Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or hardboard.

Adjust Leveling Legs

1.If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or pliers to loosen the 4 leveling legs.

This may be done with the range on its back or with the range supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed back to a standing position.

NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or hardboard.

2.Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A minimum of ³⁄₁₆" (5.0 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip bracket.

NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing, tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to adjust the rear legs.

3.When the range is at the correct height, check that there is adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket. Before sliding range into its final location, check that the anti- tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation.

Install Anti-Tip Bracket

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation instructions.

Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the slot of the anti-tip bracket.

Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.

Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

1.Remove the anti-tip bracket that is taped inside the upper oven with the package containing literature.

2.Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.

If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall mounting method.
