Unpack Range

1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from range.

2. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.

3. Do not remove the shipping base at this time.

4. On Ranges Equipped with a Storage Drawer:

Remove the storage drawer. See the “Storage Drawer” 
section. Use a ¼" drive ratchet to lower the rear leveling legs 
one-half turn. Use a wrench or pliers to lower front leveling 
legs one-half turn.

On Ranges Equipped with a Warming Drawer or Premium 
Storage Drawer:

On ranges equipped with a warming drawer or premium 
storage drawer, the rear legs cannot be accessed by 
removing the warming drawer or premium storage drawer. It 
will be necessary to adjust the rear legs from outside the 
range. Use wrench or pliers to lower the front and rear 
leveling legs one-half turn.

Install Anti-Tip Bracket

1. Remove the anti-tip bracket from where it is taped inside the 

storage drawer or warming drawer.

mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile 
home, you must secure the range to the floor.
