Abstract
Abstract A stove disposed in an opening in a counter top has a top overlying the opening. Manually adjustable means secured to the stove and accessable from the top of the counter enables the top of the stove to be levelled regardless of the position of the counter top. First and second horizontal spaced bubble type levels secured to the top of the stove and extending at right angles to each other enables the levelling operation to be carried out easily and accurately.
