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.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting
the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket.
Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from
sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the
bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the
mounting screws.

obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. If you
need assistance or service, refer to the "Assistance or Service"
section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or "Warranty"

6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is

without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed
correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket
installed and engaged. Please reference the "Assistance or

"Warranty" section of the User Instructions, to contact service.
