. . 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 range. See Fig. A.
The upper level set of holes are intended for use with
a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not being used,
make sure that there are no structural supports for
the countertop which will interfere with the stability
bracket when located in the upper set of holes.

into the wall-plat~ at tht; base of the wall or one of
the studs in the base of the wall. See Fig. C.
Whether you attach the chain to the wall or floor, be
certain that the screw is in at least 3/4 inch thickness
of wood other than baseboard and that there are no
electrical wires or pi'in~bing in the area which the
screw could penetrate. Attach the stability chain in a
location which will allow tht! chain to be in line
with the bracket side to aide as much as possible
when attached to the unit. Test to see if the chain is
securely fastened by tugging on the chain.

3. Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to the
rear of the countertop with the tape from the
packaging. See Fig. D.
4. Place the range in the counter cutout leaving just
enough room 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. A and make sure the chain is
pulled as tight as possible and that there is no
excess slack in the chain after the chain is attached
to the bracket.
CAUTION: Excessive slack in the chain
A
could allow the range to tip over.
6. Slide the range all the way back into the counter.
Once the range is pushed back in place, there will
be a small amount of slack in the chain. This
is normal.
NOTE:
If attaching to masonry, you can buy suitable screws
and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill
to drill the required holes.
If range is removed for cleaning or any other reason,
make sure chain is reattached.
