9. 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

brackets and screws packed with the range. Those parts
are located in a plastic bag in the oven. Failure to install
the anti-tip brackets 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 anti4ip

brackets.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip

brackets must also be moved and installed with the

range. To check for proper installation, see step 5.

Tools Required:

5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench

Electric Drill
3/16" Diameter Drill Bit
3/16" Diameter Masonry Drill Bit (if installing in

concrete)

Anti-Tip Brackets Installation Instructions

Brackets attach to the floor at the back of the range to

hold both rear leg levelers. When fastening 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. Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor
with the back and side edges positioned exactly
where the back and sides of range will be located
when installed. (Use the diagram below to locate

brackets if template is not available.)

2. Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting
holes shown on the template. For easier installation,

3/16" (0.5 cm) diameter pilot holes 1/2" (1.3 cm)
deep can be drilled into the floor.

3. Remove template and place brackets on floor with

turned up flange to the front. Line up holes in

brackets with marks on floor and attach with 4

screws provided. Brackets must be secured to solid
floor. If attaching to concrete floor, first drill 3/1 6"
(0.5 cm) dia. pilot holes using a masonry drill bit.

4. Level range if necessary, by adjusting 4 leg levelers

with wrench. (See Figure 12 below.) A minimum
clearance of 1/8" (0.8 cm) is required between the

bottom of the range and the rear leg levelers to

allow room for the anti-tip brackets.

5. Slide range into place making sure rear legs are
trapped by ends of brackets. Range may need to be
shifted slightly to one side as it is being pushed back
to allow rear legs to align with brackets. You may
also grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure

range is properly anchored.
