3. If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the oor

without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the oor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the mounting screws.

4. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket

is securely attached to the oor or wall.

5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the

slot of the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm) from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. If you need assistance or service, refer to the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or “Warranty” section of the User Instructions, for contact information.

6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is

engaged in the anti-tip bracket. If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the oor

without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or “Warranty” section of the User Instructions, to contact service.
