LEVELING THE COOKING CENTER
Leveling legs are located on each corner of the base
of the cooking center.
Your cooking center must be level in order to produce
proper cooking and baking results. After it is in its final
location, place a level horizontally on an oven shelf
and check the levelness front to back and side to side.
Level the cooking center by adjusting the leveling legs.
Both of the rear leveling legs will engage the Anti-tip
bracket (allow for some side to side adjustment).
Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8” between the
cooking center and the leveling legs to permit
installation into the Anti-tip bracket.
