ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: A risk of range tip over exists if the appliance is

not installed in accordance with the installation
instructions provided. The proper use of this device
minimizes the risk of TIP-OVER. In using this device the
consumer must still observe the safety precautions as
stated in the USE and CARE MANUAL and avoid using
the oven door and/or lower drawer as a step stool.

Installation instructions are provided for wood and cement
in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may
require special installation techniques as deemed
necessary to provide adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP
bracket to the floor or wall.

STEP 1 -- Locating The Bracket (see figure 1)

A. Determine where either the right or left rear “edge” of

the range will be located and mark the floor or wall.

B. Place the BRACKET 9/16″ (14.5 mm) from the

marked “EDGE” toward center of opening and against
the back wall as shown in figure 1, with orientation
hole against wall.

C. Use the bracket as a template and mark the required

holes, as shown in figure 1 for the type of construction
you will be using.

STEP 2 -- Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

A. Wood Construction:

1. Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified
in figure 1 as “HOLES FOR FLOOR”. Drill a 1/8″
(3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail
or awl may be used if a drill is not available).
Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the
two screws provided. Proceed to STEP 3.

2. Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified
in figure 1 as “HOLES FOR WALL. Drill an angled
1/8″ (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole
as shown in figure 2. (A nail or awl may be used if
a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP
bracket to the wall with the two screws provided
as shown in figure 2. Proceed to STEP 3.

B. Cement or Concrete Construction:

1. Suitable screws for concrete construction can be
obtained at a hardware store. Drill the required
size hole for the screws obtained into the
concrete at the center of the holes identified in
figure 1 as “HOLES FOR FLOOR”. Secure the
ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor. Proceed to STEP 3.

STEP 3 -- Range Installation

A. For safety considerations as well as optimum

performance, adjust the range so it is level and to
desired height prior to installing in cabinet opening.

NOTE: Cooktop MUST

be flush or above

countertop.

Levelness may be checked by placing a spirit level or
a large pan of water on the cooktop or oven rack.
Adjust the range by tipping it forward or back and
rotate the leveling feet as required.

NOTE: A minimum clearance of 1/4″ (6 mm) is
required between the range and the leveling foot that
will engage the anti-tip bracket, (see figure 2).

CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range
is moved or lifted by grasping the main top, backguard
or door handles.

B. Align the range to its designated location and prepare

to slide it back into position. Connect gas line and
plug in power cord to outlet following guidelines
outlined in connecting the range and remainder of
installation instructions.

C. Slide range in place visually inspecting to verify that

power cord and gas line are freely routed and
contained within recessed area of back panel.

D. To check the range for proper installation of the

anti-tip bracket, use a flashlight and look underneath
the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear
leveling feet is engaged in the bracket slot.

CONNECTING THE RANGE

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest
edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

ELECTRIC SUPPLY (Canada)

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
Canadian Electric Code CSA STD.C22.1 latest edition.
See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

OUTSIDE WIRING

Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be
necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load
demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range
is specified on the rating plate located on front of range.

HOUSE WIRING

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All
wiring should conform to Local and National Electrical
Codes. This range requires a single phase three wire
120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes
require a separate circuit be run from the main entrance
panel to the range and that it be equipped with separate
disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main entrance
panel or in a separate switch and fuse box. In some
communities, a solid or flexible continuous armored
conduit must be used from main entrance panel to the
terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit
the termination of the range circuit at a polarized three or
four wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near
the back of the range. The range is then connected to this
outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail)
fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain
relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the
opposite end.

by local code. USE COPPER OR ALUMINUM
CONDUCTORS. Main terminal block is recognized for
Copper or Aluminum conductors. If a flexible power cord
is required, it is recommended a cord no longer than 4 ft.
be used. Make connections as explained below and with
reference to the appropriate illustration (see figures 6 and

7). After installation, insure tightness of all electrical
connections and replace all covers.

Remove terminal block access cover from range back.
(See figure 5).
