Make adjustments behind stove (9)

I believe the answer is:

rearrange

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make adjustments' is the definition.
'rearrange' can be an answer for 'make' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'adjustments' bit.

'behind stove' is the wordplay.
'behind' becomes 'rear' (synonyms).
'stove' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'rear'+'range'='REARRANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rearrange that I've seen before include "Alter" , "Organise another way" , "resort" , "Change the position(s) of" , "Move to new positions" .)
