Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range CAUTION: The top edges of the range's side panels must be on the same or higher level as the adjacent countertop. If the range is operated while at a lower height relative to the adjacent cabinet, the cabinet could be exposed to excessive temperatures, causing damage to the cabinet and countertop (see Figure 25 on page 26). For proper performance, the range must be level. This is especially important for all products that have the griddle feature. Priority should be placed on ensuring that the oven cavities are also level for optimum cooking performance. • Each range has a pair of casters adjacent to the rear legs (see Figure 24). The casters make moving the range easier by slightly lifting the front and allowing the casters to glide the range back towards its installed position. • The range has (4) leveling legs that are threaded into the cast aluminum base structure. The range is leveled by rotating the legs using an 12" (305mm) adjustable wrench on the flat sides of each foot. • It is suggested to measure the counter top heights first with a tape measure and adding an additional 1/16" - 1/8" (2-3mm), then adjusting the legs accordingly prior to pushing the range back to its final location. • Progression of the height adjustments should be alternated proportionally between the four legs, until the top edges of the range's side panels are close to matching the countertop height. • Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place before moving the range into its installed position in the cabinet. Caster Locations Figure 24: Castor Locations • As the range is moved into its final, installed position, verify that the "hook" on the Anti-Tip Bracket is in a position to engage the back edge of the cast base (see "Step 5: Installing Anti-Tip Device" on page 12). This can be verified by viewing through the opening near the floor. • With the range in the installed position, the final height adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure proper alignment to the countertop. Note: It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range has been properly leveled. English 25
