LEVEL THE RANGE

Install the oven racks in the oven

and position the range where it will be
installed.

Check for levelness by placing a spirit

level or a cup, partially filled with water,
on one of the oven racks. If using a spirit
level, take two readings—with the level
placed diagonally first in one direction
and then the other.

Remove the broiler drawer or kick panel.

See the Care and cleaning of the range
section. The front leveling legs can be
adjusted from the bottom and the rear
legs can be adjusted from the top or the
bottom.

Use an open-end or adjustable wrench

to adjust the leveling legs until the range
is level.

After the range is level, slide the range

away from the wall so that the Anti-Tip
device can be installed.

WARNING

Range must be secured with an

approved Anti-Tip device.

Unless properly installed, the range could

be tipped by you or a child standing,
sitting or leaning on an open door.

After installing the Anti-Tip device, verify

that it is in place by carefully attempting
to tilt the range forward.

This range has been designed to meet all

recognized industry tip standards for all
normal conditions.

The use of this device does not preclude

tipping of the range when not properly
installed.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the

range does not fit this application, use the
universal Anti-Tip device WB02K10254.
