IMPORTANT: LEVELING/ADJUSTMENTS/ALIGNMENT
Careful leveling of the range is critical not only to performance, but also to allow the alignment of oven doors and drip
tray. Closely follow the procedures below to ensure proper performance and appearance of the range. The range
being even slightly out of level will significantly contribute to misalignment of oven doors.
1. If the floor is smooth and level, level the unit with the screw thread of the legs. Set the high corner of the range so
that the the top of the grate support is 3/8” (.95cm) above the countertop, and level the range to the high corner.
2. If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, level the unit with metal shims, as the adjustment required may exceed
the thread available in the leg.
3. Proper and careful leveling of the range is necessary for proper alignment of the oven doors. The body of the
range does not have a rigid frame to hold it into one position. This nonrigid framework allows the range to shift
with unlevel floors or slanted cabinets. Moving any one of the adjustable leveling legs up or down will shift the
range body. Increasing the length of the right front leveling leg will raise the right front corner of the range, moving
the top of the door to the left. Lowering the right front leveling leg will cause the tip of the door to move to the
right. Using the left front leveling leg will give you the opposite effect. Raising the left front corner will move the
top of the door to the right. Lowering the corner will move the top of the door to the left. The rear leveling legs
will also have an effect on the door alignment.
4. After the range is properly leveled, the drip tray handle may be aligned by loosening the screws and adjusting the
handle horizontally within the limits provided by the slotted screw holes.
5. A level should be placed across the top of the range and the unit leveled both front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is
not level, burner combustion may be erratic, liquid, or semi-liquid batters will cook at an angle, and the unit may
not function efficiently.

When installing or removing the range for service, a rolling lift jack should be used. Do not push against any of the
edges of the range in an attempt to slide it into or out of the installation. Although all metal parts are deburred during
manufacturing, accidents could occur if the range should be moved suddenly or violently. Pushing or pulling a range
(rather than using a lift jack) also increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal coupling
connectors.
