ur range, ‘likemany other house-
hcddhn-rm,is heavy and can settle
into soft floor coveringssuchas
CWMOIAvinylor carpeting.When
mo~’ingthe range on this type of’
flooring, use care, and it is reconl-
mended that these simple and inex-
pensiveinstructions be followed.
The range should be installed on a
sheet of plj’wooa (or similar mate-
rial)as follows: When thejkw
cowing is terminated at thefront
oj the range, the area that the range
willrest on should be built up with
plywood to the same levelor higher
than the floor covering. This will
then allow the range to be moved
for cleaning or servicing.
(NotcmJIMmodels)
i.e~”elingscrews may be located on
-ah corner of the base or on only
two front corners of the range
depending on the model. By remov-
ingthe bottom drawer you can level
th; range to an uneven‘floorwith
the use of anutdriver.
TOremove drawer, pull drawer out
a]!the way, tilt up the front and
remove it. TCIreplace, insert glides
atback of drawer beyond stop on

sarj’to insert easily. Let front of
