On Ranges with a Warming Drawer or Premium Storage Drawer: 1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the warming drawer or premium storage drawer, and grasp the lower right or left side of the control panel as shown. NOTE: If your countertop is mounted with a backsplash, it may be necessary to grasp the range higher than is shown in the illustration. 6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please refer "Warranty" to contact service. Level Range Determine if you have AquaLift®† Technology or Steam Clean by referring to the "Range Care" section of the User Instructions. For Ranges with AquaLift® Technology or Steam Clean: 1. Place level on the oven bottom as indicated in one of the two figures below depending on the size of the level. Check with the level side to side and front to back. 2. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip bracket. 3. Follow the directions in Style 1 or Style 2, depending on the style of drawer supplied with the range. For Ranges without AquaLift® Technology or Steam Clean: 1. Place a standard flat rack in oven. 2. Place level on the rack and check levelness of the range, first side to side; then front to back. 2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward. If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. 3. If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip bracket. IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the mounting screws. 4. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall. 5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket. IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm) from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. Changes to the gas supply must be performed by a qualified service technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to the "Warranty" for contact information. 3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip bracket. 4. Follow the directions in Style 1 or Style 2, depending on the style of drawer supplied with the range. Style 1: Ranges Equipped with a Storage Drawer: Use a 1/4" (6.4 mm) drive ratchet, wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level. Push range back into position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Style 2: Ranges Equipped with a Warming Drawer or Premium Storage Drawer: Use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until the range is level. Push range back into position.
