to verify that both back legs are resting solidly on the floor. Also verify that the
left range leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

the anti-tip bracket, slide range out, adjust legs and slide back in.

Adjust Front of Range for Proper Installation

1. Adjust front leveling legs so that the cooktop trim rests against the countertop

all the way around.

2. Verify that both front legs are resting solidly on the floor.
3. Use a level to verify that the range is level and plumb.
4. Push range back into position ensuring that range leg slides under the anti-tip

bracket. The range will sit 3/4” away from the wall when properly installed.

5. Carefully tip range forward to ensure that anti-tip bracket engages and pre-

vents tip-over.

panel behind the drawer.

The gas connection is complete. Proceed to “Test for Gas Leaks” on page 21.

Test for Gas Leaks

Leak testing is to be conducted by the installer according to the instructions given
in this section.

1. Turn on gas.
2. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid. Include all joints and fittings

between the shutoff valve and the range. Include gas fittings and joints in the
range if connections may have been disturbed during installation.

3. Inspect for leaks. Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections

indicate a leak.

4. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shutoff valve and tighten connec-

tions.

5. Retest for leaks. Turn gas back on at supply line shutoff valve and reapply

leak detection fluid.

6. When no bubbles appear, test is complete. Wipe off all detection fluid residue.

Do not continue to the next step until all leaks are eliminated.

CAUTION:

Verify that the weight of the range is not resting on the countertop.
This could result in damage to the countertop and the appliance.

Note:
Be careful not to apply pressure to warming drawer element during
rigid pipe testing.

CAUTION:

Never check for leaks with a flame.
