A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation
instructions.
Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed
and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or serious burns to children and adults.
1. Remove the anti-tip bracket that is taped inside the upper
oven with the package containing literature.
2. Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.
If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall
mounting method.
3. Determine and mark edge of range in the cutout space. The
mounting bracket can be installed on either the left-hand side
or right-hand side of the cutout. Position mounting bracket in
cutout so that right (or left) edge of the bracket is ¹⁵⁄₁₆" (2.4 cm)
from the marked edge of the range, as shown.

Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed
and Engaged
1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the
oven door to keep the range from moving, and grasp the
lower right-hand or left-hand side of the control panel as
shown.
NOTE: If your countertop is mounted with a backsplash, it
may be necessary to grasp the range higher than is shown in
the illustration.
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
3. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently
back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip
bracket.
