WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range
must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. See installation instructions shipped
with the bracket for complete details before
attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
bracket should stop the range within 4 inches.
If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free standing or slide in ranges, never
completely remove the leveling legs or the range
will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with
your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive
one at no cost (In Canada, call 1.800.561.3344).

Installation Instructions

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the
range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that
the following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the
front of the range, the area that the range will rest on
should be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the
range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the
burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or
drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
