Install Anti-Tip Bracket

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
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 in the oven cavity.
2. Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.
3. For wall mounting method only: Remove 30" (76.2 cm)
wide by 4" (10.2 cm) high section of sheetrock, with the
bottom of the area removed to be flush with the floor support
slats. (See "Cabinet Dimensions" illustration in the "Location
Requirements" section.) Securely attach a
piece of plywood to at least two wall studs in place of the
sheetrock. Plywood should span the width of the cabinet
opening and sit flush with the top edge of the floor support
slats.
4. Determine and mark centerline of the cutout space. The
mounting bracket can be installed on either the left side or
right side of the cutout. Position mounting bracket in cutout
so that right (or left) edge of the bracket is 13¾" (34.9 cm)
from centerline, as shown.

6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, mount anti-tip bracket to the
support slat or the wall support board, depending on the
chosen method of installation, with the two #12 x 1 " screws
provided.

Adjust Leveling Legs

1. If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or
pliers to loosen the 4 leveling legs.
This may be done with the range on its back or with the range
supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed back to
a standing position.
NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or
more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or
hardboard.
2. Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs
can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A
minimum of " (5 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip
bracket.
NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing,
tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to
adjust the rear legs.
3. When the range is at the correct height, check that there is
adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket.
Before sliding range into its final position, check that the anti-
tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear
leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation.
