INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before moving range, slide range onto shipping base, cardboard
or hardboard.
1. Remove template from the anti-tip bracket kit (found inside
the oven cavity).
2. Place template on the floor in the cabinet opening so that the
left edge is against the cabinet and the top edge is against
the rear wall, molding or cabinet.
3. Tape template in place.
4. If the countertop is not flush with the cabinet opening edge,
align the template with the overhang.
If the cabinet opening is wider than specified in the "Location
Requirements" section, adjust the template so the range will be
centered in the cabinet opening.
5. To mount the anti-tip bracket to a wood floor, drill two 1/8"
(3.2 mm) holes at the positions marked on the bracket
template. Remove the template from the floor.
To mount the anti-tip bracket to a concrete or ceramic floor, use
a 3/16" (4.8 mm) masonry drill bit to drill 2 holes at the positions
marked on the bracket template. Remove the template from the
floor.
6. Tap plastic anchors into holes with a hammer.
7. Align the anti-tip bracket holes with the holes in the floor.
Fasten the anti-tip bracket with the screws provided.
Depending on the thickness of your flooring, longer screws may
be necessary to anchor the bracket to the subfloor. Longer
screws are available from your local hardware store.
8. Move the range close to the opening. Remove the shipping
base, cardboard or hardboard from under the range.
9. Open the broiler door. Use a 3/8" drive ratchet to lower the
rear leveling legs one-half turn. Use flip-joint pliers to lower
the front leveling legs one-half turn.
