NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS

1. ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

- IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

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. 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.

32" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may be used in
wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat head
screwdriver to secure the bracket in place (See Fig. 6).

1c. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the

(4) leveling legs with a wrench. NOTE: A minimum clearance of 1/
8" is required between the bottom of the range and the leveling leg
to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit level to check your
adjustments. Slide range back into position (See Fig. 7).
Visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully
secured by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower panel or
storage drawer. For models with a Warmer Drawer or broiler
compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully
attempt to tilt it forward.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip Bracket
must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall,
make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are
secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be
sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

1a. Locate the Bracket using the Template - (Bracket

may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use
the information below to locate the bracket if template is not
available).
Mark the floor or wall where
left or right side of the range
will be located. If rear of range
is against the wall or no
further than 1-1/4" from wall
when installed, you may use
the wall or floor mount
method. If molding is installed

and does not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove
molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate the
bracket by placing the back edge of the template against the rear
wall and the side edge of template on the mark made referencing
the side of the range (See Fig. 4). Place bracket on top of
template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of
range is further than 1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach
bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing
back edge of the template where the rear of the range will be
located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in template.

1b. Drill Pilot Holes & Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot

hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be mounted
to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20° downward angle
(See Fig. 5).
If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a 5/
