8. Anti-Tip Brackets Installation

Instructions

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. These parts are located in the oven. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

Follow the instructions below to install the anti-tip brackets.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the antitip brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Tools Required:

Adjustable Wrench Ratchet

Drill & 1/8"(0,32 cm) bit 5/16" (0,8 cm) Nutdriver Level

The anti-tip bracket attaches to the floor at the back of the range to prevent range from tipping. When fastening bracket to the floor, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood or concrete.

1.Draw a center line (CL) on the floor where the range should be installed. Also draw a line on the floor at the range back position if there is no wall.

2.Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor with the right rear corner positioned exactly on the intersection of the center and back lines you just drew before. (Use the diagram below to locate brackets if template is not available. (Figure 11))

3.Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting holes shown on the template. For easier installation, 3/16"(0,48 cm) diameter pilot holes 1/2"(1,27 cm) deep can be drilled into the floor.

4.Remove template and place bracket on floor. Line up holes in bracket with marks on floor and attach with 4 screws provided. Bracket must be secured to solid floor (Figure 12). If attaching to concrete floor, first drill 3/16"(0,48 cm) dia. pilot holes using masonry drill bit.

5.Be sure the 4 levelling legs are at the highest position they can be.

6.Slide range into place making sure structure of the range is trapped by the anti-tip bracket (Figure 11). Lower the range by adjusting the 4 levelling legs until the underside of the cooktop is sitting level on the countertop. Refer to “Levelling the Range” section.

7.After installation, verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged by grasping the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure range is properly anchored.
