3. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

Instructions

Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range should
be secured to the oor 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.

If range is ever moved to a di󰀨erent location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement

fastened to either the oor 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
oor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing.

installed, attach bracket to the oor. For oor 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.

B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8” (3 mm)

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. If bracket is to be mounted to
masonry or ceramic oors, drill a 5/32” (4 mm) pilot hole
1-3/4” (44 mm) deep. The screws provided may be used
in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16” (8 mm) nut­driver or at head screwdriver to secure the bracket in
place.

A. 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 oor 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" (32 mm) from wall when
installed, you may use the wall or oor mount method. If
molding is installed and does not allow the bracket to t
ush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket
to the oor. 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. 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" (32 mm) from the wall when

C. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the (4)

leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum clearance
of 1/8” (3 mm) 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. 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.
