30" ELECTRIC SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7.
Anti-Tip Brackets Installation
Instructions
- Ceramic Glass Cooktop only
Models Equipped with Leveling Device
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range,
the range must be secured to the floor by properly
installed anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the
range. Those parts are located in the oven. Failure to
install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to 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.
Follow the instructions below to install the anti-tip
brackets.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-
tip brackets must also be moved and installed with the
range.
Tools Required:
Adjustable Wrench
Ratchet
Drill & 1/8"(0,32 cm) bit
5/16" (0,8 cm) Nutdriver
Level
The anti-tip bracket attaches to the floor at the back of
the range to hold range rear center leg. When fastening
bracket to the floor, be sure that screws do not penetrate
electrical wiring or plumbing. The screws provided will
work in either wood or concrete.

1. Draw a line on the floor (in front of the cutout)
aligned with the front of the cabinet (not with the
toe plate).
2. Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor
with the front and side edges positioned exactly
on the cabinet line you just drew before. (Use the
diagram below to locate brackets if template is not
available (Figure 7)).
3. Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting
holes shown on the template. For easier installation,
3/16"(0,48 cm) diameter pilot holes 1/2"(1,27 cm)
deep can be drilled into the floor.
4. Remove template and place bracket on floor. Line up
holes in bracket with marks on floor and attach with
4 screws provided. Bracket must be secured to solid
floor (Figure 8). If attaching to concrete floor, first
drill 3/16"(0,48 cm) dia. pilot holes using a masonry
drill bit.
5. Be sure the 4 leveling legs are at the highest position
they can be.
6. Slide range into place making sure the range is
trapped by the anti-tip bracket (Figure 8). Lower
the range by adjusting the 4 leveling legs until the
underside of the cooktop is sitting level on the
countertop. Refer to "Leveling the Range" section.
7. After installation, verify that the anti-tip bracket is
engaged by grasping the top rear edge of the range
and carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure
range is properly anchored.
