    • B
      Brittney JacobsonAug 28, 2025
      If your Bosch Ranges appliance is not level, it may be due to poor installation. Ensure the floor is level, strong, and stable enough to support the range. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, put a level on the rack, and adjust the leveling legs at the base of the appliance until the rack is level. Also, confirm that the cabinets are square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
