Unpacking and moving the
range
9 CAUTION
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door’s
handle, as this may damage the door hinges
and cause the door to fit incorrectly.
DO NOT lift the appliance by the range’s
control panel.
The unit is heavy and should be handled
accordingly. Proper safety equipment such as
gloves and adequate manpower of at least two
people must be used in moving the range to
avoid injury and to avoid damage to the unit or
the floor.
Rings, watches, and any other loose items that
may damage the unit or otherwise might
become entangled with the unit should be
removed.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use
caution when reaching behind or under
appliance.
DO NOT use a hand truck or appliance dolly on
the back or front of the unit. Handle from the
side only.
Unpacking the range
NOTES:
• DO NOT remove control panel foam until unit is
completely installed.
• DO NOT lift on the control panel at any point during
the installation.
To unpack the appliance
1. Remove the outer carton and packing materials from
the shipping pallet.
2. Leave the protective film over brushed-metal surfaces,
to protect finish from scratches, until the range is
installed in its final position.
3. Remove the grates, burner caps and oven racks to
facilitate handling.
4. If desired, the oven doors may be removed (see “Door
removal and adjustment”).
Moving the range
Due to the weight, a furniture dolly with soft wheels or an
air lift should be used to move this unit. The weight must
be supported uniformly across the bottom.
To remove the pallet bolts
1. To remove the pallet bolts in the front and in the back,
use a 7/16'' wrench or ratchet and socket to remove
the pallet bolt from the bottom of the pallet.
2. Lift range and remove it from the pallet. Use
additional help as required to remove from pallet.
3. Transport the range by furniture dolly close to its final
location. Unit should not be dollied from the front. DO
NOT slide the range across an unprotected floor.
4. The range can then be tipped back and supported on
the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed. THE
FLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED
BEFORE PUSHING THE UNIT INTO POSITION.
