# La Cornue range relocation and leveling

### About moving half a ton of French range

A Grand Palais 180 is about 710 lb uncrated and 1,320 crated; even a Grand Castel 90 is around 330 lb. The legs are adjustable across a specified height range and the maker's own test for level is a dish of water on an oven shelf sitting at one depth all over. So this is a planned job: the route protected before anything is lifted, gas isolated and capped and electrical disconnected rather than stretched, enough people and the right equipment, then set, leveled, reconnected, leak-checked and proved.

What this involves

Enough people and the right equipment, or it does not get moved

Leveled to specification and verified with water on the shelf

Gas and electrical disconnected and reconnected properly, not stretched

Plan the route before lifting anything

Floor protection, doorways, thresholds. Most damage on this job happens in the corridor.

Disconnect properly

Gas isolated and capped, electrical disconnected at the supply. Nothing is stretched or pivoted on its connections.

Move it with enough hands

710 lb uncrated on a Grand Palais 180. This is equipment and people, not enthusiasm.

Set, level and verify

Legs within the specified height, then water on a shelf to prove it.

Reconnect and prove it

Leak check, every burner lit, both ovens run up, and the hood checked if it moved too.

### Can two of us not slide it out ourselves?

Please do not. Half a ton on adjustable legs, on stone or tile, with a gas connector behind it, is how floors get gouged, legs get bent and connectors get strained — and a strained gas connector is not a problem you discover immediately. If it genuinely has to move first, turn the gas off at the appliance valve.

### Is re-leveling included?

It is the job rather than an extra. A range moved and not re-leveled cooks unevenly, and since the maker's test takes two minutes, anybody who moves one and skips it has not finished.
