ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
A risk of range tip over exists if the appliance is
not installed in accordance with the installation
instructions provided. The proper use of this device
minimizes the risk of TIP-OVER. In using this device the
consumer must still observe the safety precautions as
stated in the USE and CARE MANUAL and avoid using
the oven door and/or lower drawer as a step stool.
Installation instructions are provided for wood and cement
in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may
require special installation techniques as deemed
necessary to provide adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP
bracket to the floor or wall.
STEP 1 - Locating The Bracket (see figure 1)
A. Determine where either the right or left rear "edge" of
the range will be located and mark the floor or wall.
g.
C.
Place the BRACKET 15/16" (24 mm) from the marked
"EDGE" toward center of opening and against the
back wall as shown in figure 1, with orientation hole
against wall.
Use the bracket as a template and mark the required
holes, as shown in figure 1 for the type of construction
you will be using.
STEP 2 - Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
A. Wood Construction:
1. Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified
in figure 1 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Drill a 1/8"
(3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail
or awl may be used if a drill is not available).
Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the
two screws provided. Proceed to STEP 3.
2. Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified
in figure 1 as "HOLES FOR WALL. Ddll an angled
1/8" (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole
g.
as shown in figure 2. (A nail or awl may be used if
a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP
bracket to the wall with the two screws provided
as shown in figure 2. Proceed to STEP 3.
Cement or Concrete Construction:
1. Suitable screws for concrete construction can be
obtained at a hardware store. Drill the required
size hole for the screws obtained into the
concrete at the center of the holes identified in
figure 1 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Secure the
ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor. Proceed to STEP 3.
STEP 3 - Range Installation
A. A free-standing range may be installed by one person.
g.
Align the range to its designated location and slide it
back into position. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4"
(6 mm) is required between the range and the leveling
foot that will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket, see figure
2.
C.
D.
E.
CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range
is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or
backguard.
For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS as well as optimum
performance adjust the range so that it is level. This
may be checked by placing a spidt level or a large
pan of water on the cooktop or the oven rack. If an
adjustment is required pull the range forward, tip the
range and rotate the leveling feet as required.
To check the range for proper installation of the
anti-tip bracket: Use a flashlight and look underneath
the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear
leveling feet is engaged in the bracket slot.
Proceed with the remainder of the installation
instructions provided with the range.
