INSTALLING THE ANTI‐TIP STABILlTY

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

DEVICE

The anti‐tip bracket shipped with the range must
be properly secured to the rear wall as shown in
the pircture below.

The height of the bracket from the floor must be
determined after the range legs have been
adjusted to the desired height and after the
range has been leveled.

Measure the distance from the floor to the
bottom of the anti‐tip bracket receptacle on the
back of the appliance.

Position the two anti‐tip brackets on the wall at
the desired height plus 1/8" (0.32 cm). The
brackets must be placed at 2”5/16 (6,0 cm) from
the side of the range. The distance between the
two bracket is 25”1/4 (64,1 cm).

Secure the brackets to the wall with appropriate
hardware.

Slide the range against the wall until the brackets
are fully inserted into their receptacles on the
back of the range.

ELECTRICAL

A properly‐grounded horizontally‐ mounted
electrical receptacle should be installed no higher
than 3" (7.6 cm) above the floor, no less than 2”
(5 cm) and no more than 8” (20,3 cm) from the
right side (facing product).

Check all local code requirements.

GAS

An agency‐approved, properly‐sized manual shut‐
off valve should be installed no higher than 3"
(7.6 cm) above the floor and no less than 2” (5
cm) and no more than 8” (20.3 cm) from the left

INSTALLATION ADJACENT TO KITCHEN

CABINETS

This range may be installed directly adjacent to
existing countertop high cabinets (36" or 91.5 cm
from the floor).

For the best look, the worktop should be level
with the cabinet countertop. This can be
accomplished by raising the unit using the
adjustment spindles on the legs.

ATTENTION: the range CANNOT be installed
directly adjacent to kitchen walls, tall cabinets,
tall appliances, or other vertical surfaces above
36" (91.4 cm) high. The minimum side clearance
in such cases is 6" (15.2 cm).

Wall cabinets with minimum side clearance must
be installed 18" (45.7 cm) above the countertop
with countertop height between 35 ½” (90.2 cm)
and 37 ¼” (94.6 cm). The maximum depth of wall
cabinets above the range shall be 13" (33.0 cm)

EXHAUST HOOD INSTALLATION

This range will best perform when used with PRO
line Bertazzoni exhaust hoods. These hoods have
been designed to work in conjunction with the
Bertazzoni range and have the same finish for a
perfect look.

For maximum performance, the height of the
bottom of the hood from the worktop should be
between 25 1/2" (65 cm) and 31 1/2" (80 cm).
This would typically result in the bottom of the
hood being 61 1/2" (156.2 cm) to 67 1/2" (171.5
cm) above the floor. These measurements
provide for safe and efficient operation of the
hood.
