How many people pull out the range to look at the connector?

I do to check for a anti tip device. To see if electric 220 line and gas are present. To check if it has an older brass flex connector. To check the gas line & shut off.

I do too, but normally there is no need to pull out the range to check these things.

So you check behind the stove by leaning it back a bit?

It's fairly easy John, you grab the back of the range and pull it about two inches (not possible with the anti-tip in place) then you take that funny thing that shoots light and look behind the range and document what you see.

Ahhhhh. so you lean it forward then, not back. Now that makes sense.
