36 " GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
10. Anti-tip Bracket Installation
Important Safety Warning
This range must be properly secured to the floor by using
the included anti-tip brackets and screws. Failure to
install the brackets could allow the range to accidentally
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. Refer to the
instructions below for proper installation (Figure 10).
NOTE: If the range is ever moved to a different location,
the anti-tip brackets must also be moved and installed
with the range.
The anti-tip kit is located in a plastic bag in the
oven.
Tools Required:
5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench
3/16" Dia. Masonry Drill Bit (if installing in concrete)
Attach brackets 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.
Range may be anchored to floor in a house with hold
down brackets as illustrated in Figure 10. These hold
down brackets allow range to be freely pulled out from
the wall for cleaning or servicing without the use of
tools.
1. Attach brackets to the floor or rear wall with screws
provided. Important: Attachment must be secured to
solid floor or wall. Do not attach to plaster, sheet
rock, or other soft material. If attachment is to rear
wall, any moldings must be removed in area behind
range.
2. If brackets are to be attached to masonry or ceramic
floors, position brackets on floor and mark hole
location. Drill 3/16" holes.
3. Lower both rear leg levelers about three turns so the
brackets will slide over leveler head.
4. Level the range front to back and side to side with
the two front leg levelers and the rear levelers.
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. Remove
lower panel or storage drawer to inspect brackets or
grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully
attempt to tilt it forward to make sure range is
properly anchored.
