INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack Range
1.
Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range.
Keep cardboard bottom under range. Do not dispose of
anything until the installation is complete.
2.
Remove oven racks and parts package from oven and
shipping materials.
3.
To remove cardboard bottom, first take 4 cardboard corners
from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of
another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them
lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range
when it is laid on its back.
4.
Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay
it on its back on the cardboard corners.
5.
Remove cardboard bottom.
The leveling legs can be adjusted while the range is on its back.
See the “Adjust Leveling Legs” section.
NOTE:
To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard on the floor in front of range to
protect the flooring. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up
onto the cardboard or hardboard.
Install Anti-Tip Bracket
1.
Remove the anti-tip bracket from the inside of the oven.
2.
Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.
If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall
mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile
home, you must secure the range to the floor.
This anti-tip bracket and screws can be used with wood or
metal studs.
3.
Determine and mark centerline of the cutout space. The
mounting can be installed on either the left side or right side
of the cutout. Position mounting bracket against the wall in
the cutout so that the V-notch of the bracket is 12
½
"
(31.8 cm) from centerline as shown.

Adjust Leveling Legs
1.
If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or
pliers to loosen the 4 leveling legs.
This may be done with the range on its back or with the range
supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed back to
a standing position.
NOTE:
To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or
more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or
hardboard.
2.
Measure the distance from the top of the counter to the floor.
3.
Measure the distance from the top of the cooktop to the
bottom of the leveling legs. This distance should be the
same. If it is not, adjust the leveling legs to the correct height.
The leveling legs can be loosened to add up to a maximum of
1" (2.5 cm). A minimum of
³
⁄
₁₆
" (5 mm) is needed to engage
the anti-tip bracket.
NOTE:
If height adjustment is made when range is standing,
tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to
adjust the rear legs.
4.
When the range is at the correct height, check that there is
adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket.
Before sliding range into its final location, check that the anti-
tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear
leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation.
NOTE:
If a Trim Kit will be used, the top of the cooktop
should be higher than the counter. See the Installation
Instructions included with the Trim Kit for the correct height.
