1. Before placing range in the
counter, notice the location of the
stability bracket, which is already
attached to the back of the range.
This location should work for most
installations. However, it may be
more convenient to hook the
stability chain to the unit when the
stability bracket is attached to the
upper set of holes in the back of
the range (see Fig. 2). Make sure
there are no structural supports for
the countertop that will interfere
with the stability bracket when
located in the upper set of holes.
2. Fasten one end of the stability
chain to the floor or the wall with
the long screw and washer
supplied. Make certain the screw is
going into the wall plate at the
base of the wall or one of the studs
in the base of the wall (see Fig. 1).

Whether you attach the chain to
the wall or floor, be certain that the
screw is in at least 3/4" thickness
of wood other than the baseboard
and that there are no electrical
wires or plumbing in the area that
the screw could penetrate. Attach
the stability chain in a location that
will allow it to be in line with the
bracket side-to side as much as
possible when attached to the unit.
Test to see if the chain is securely
fastened by tugging on it.
NOTE: To install Anti-Tip device
to masonry you can buy suitable
screws and anchors at hardware
stores. Use a masonry drill to drill
the required holes.
3. Temporarily attach the loose end
of the chain to the rear of the
countertop with the tape from the
packaging (see Fig. 1).

4. Place the range in the counter
cutout, leaving just enough
between the back of the range and
the wall to reach the stability
bracket.
5. Hook the loose end of the chain
onto the bracket by slipping the
nearest link of the chain into the
slot in the bracket (see Fig. 2),
making sure the chain is pulled as
tight as possible and that there is
no excess slack in the chain after
chain is attached to the bracket.
Excess slack in the chain could
allow the range to tip over
excessively.
6. Slide the range all the way back
into the counter cutout. Once the
range is pushed back in place,
there will be a small amount of
slack in the chain. This is normal.
