clear white wheels in drawer guides. Remove drawer and set it
aside on a protected surface. See the Use and Care Guide for

Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip

Level Range
Place rack in oven. Place level on rack and check for levelness,
first side to side; then front to back.
If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket. Use
³⁄₈
" drive ratchet and
channel lock pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until range is
level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is
engaged in anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: Oven must be level for satisfactory baking performance.
Make Gas Connection
Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all
pipe thread connections.
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.
