5.Remove cardboard shipping base from

3/8” drive ratchet to lower rear leveling legs
one-half turn. Use channel lock pliers to lower
front leveling legs one-half turn.
6.Making sure the
anti-tip bracket is
installed:
• Look for the
anti-tip bracket
securely attached to
floor.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is under
anti-tip bracket.
Replace storage drawer.
7. If installing the range in a mobile
home, you MUST secure the range to the floor.
Any method of securing the range is adequate as
long as it conforms to the “Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard,” Page 2.
8.Place rack in oven. Place level on rack,
first side to side; then front to back.
If range is not level, pull range forward until
rear leveling leg is removed from the anti-tip
bracket. Use 3/8" drive ratchet and channel
lock pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down
until range is level. Push range back into
position. Check that rear leveling leg is
engaged in anti-tip bracket.
Note: Oven must be level for satisfactory
baking conditions.

the other adapter to the gas shutoff valve.
Tighten both adapters.
11. Check that range regulator shutoff
valve is in the “on” position. Open the manual
shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

base. Burner cap should be level when
properly positioned. Place burner grates

12.Use a brush and liquid detergent
to test all gas connections. Bubbles around
connections will indicate a leak. If a leak

tighten connections. Then check connections
again. Clean all detergent from range.
All connections must be wrench-tightened.
10.Use 15/16" combination wrench and
channel lock pliers to attach the flexible
