Step 9: Placing and Leveling
the Range
• For proper performance, the range must be level.
(This is very important for all products that have the
griddle feature.)
• The range has four (4) leveling legs that are threaded
into the sheet metal base structure. The range is
leveled by rotating the legs using a 3/8" socket or a
wrench on the hex flats at the top of each leg, or using
English 16
an adjustable wrench on the flats on the sides of the
foot.
• Progression of the height adjustments should be
alternated proportionally between the four legs, until
the top edges of the range's side panels are close to
matching the countertop height.
CAUTION:
The top edges of the range's side panels must
be on the same or higher level as the adjacent
countertop. If the range is operated while at a
lower height relative to the adjacent cabinet, the
cabinet could be exposed to excessive
temperatures, causing damage to the cabinet
and countertop. (See Figure 10.)
• Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
• As the range is moved into its final, installed position,
verify that one of the rear feet has properly engaged
the Anti-Tip Bracket. (See Step 4.) This can be verified
by viewing through the opening near the floor with the
Kick Panel removed.
NOTICE:
Due to their size and weight distribution, the 48" ranges
do not require the use of the Anti-Tip Bracket.
• With the range in the installed position, the final height
adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure
proper alignment to the countertop.
Note:
It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range
has been properly leveled.
• After the range is properly leveled, replace the Kick
Panel and reinstall the Oven Door. (See Step 8 for door
installation.) It is important that the two (2) screws
retaining the kick panel are secure to prevent
accidental access to hot surfaces.
• Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on
the burner bases of the range's cooktop.
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 (2)
screws under the back of the griddle plate. 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.
