6. Check to ensure the electrical cord is not pinched.
7. Place the level diagonally on the oven bottom or oven rack, and check
each diagonal direction for level. Adjust the leveling legs with a plier or
wrench as necessary.
NOTE:
• The range must be level for optimum cooking and baking
performance.
• The weight of the range is to be supported by the leveling legs
only. Do not over-adjust the leveling legs and cause the side
overhangs of the cooktop to rest directly on the countertop.
• If countertops are not level, leveling the range may cause one or
more corners of the cooktop to not contact the countertop surface.
If this happens, range can remain unleveled to allow cooktop to
contact countertop around entire perimeter. Just be advised that
this may affect performance for some baked goods. Although not
generally recommended, in these cases foam tape rated for 194°F
(90°C) minimum can be placed around countertop edge to fill the
gap caused by leveling.
• Do not use caulking or other adhesives that would bind the
cooktop to the counter.
8. Reassemble oven door, drawer, and insert oven racks if they were
previously removed. See "Removing/Assembling Oven Door" and
"Removing/Assembling Drawer" sections.
VERIFY ANTI-TIP BRACKET ENGAGEMENT
Do not operate the range if its rear foot is not completely engaged in the anti-
tip bracket.
IMPORTANT:
• If the range is pulled away from the wall for any reason, always verify
anti-tip bracket engagement again.
• Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be
secured to the anti-tip device properly.
