INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Unpack Range

1.  Do not use oven door handle to lift or move the range. 

2. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from range. Keep 

cardboard bottom under range. Remove oven racks and 
parts package from inside oven. 

3. 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. Using 
2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on 
its back on the cardboard corners. 

4. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove. 

5. Use a wrench or pliers to loosen the leveling legs. Adjust the 

leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can be 
loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A maximum 
of 

³⁄₁₆

" (5.0 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. 

6. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or 

more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or 
hardboard.  

Install Anti-Tip Bracket

1. Remove the anti-tip bracket from where it is attached inside 

the oven with a wire tie.

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.

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 7

" (20 cm) 

from centerline as shown.
