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.
B.
1/8" 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.
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 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 15/16" 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"
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
STEP 3 - Range Installation
A.
Align the range to its designated location and slide it
back into position. Make sure that the leveling foot is
fully inserted into and secured by the ANTI-TIP
bracket. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4" is
required between the range and the leveling foot that
will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket, see figure 2.
B.
For safety considerations as well as optimum
performance adjust the range so that it is level. This
may be checked by placing a spirit level or a large
pan of water on the cooktop or the oven rack. If an
adjustment is required on free-standing, pull the range
forward, tip the range and rotate the leveling feet as
required. Slide-in ranges require total removal from
cabinet before an adjustment can be made.
C.
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 legs is engaged in the bracket slot.
D. Proceed with the remainder of the installation
instructions.
