Anti-Tip Bracket(s) Installation Instructions
The bracket(s) attach to the floor at the back of the range to hold both rear leg
levelers. When fastening to the floor, be sure that the screws do not penetrate
electrical wiring or plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood or
concrete.
1. Unfold the paper template and place it flat on the floor with the back and side
edges positioned exactly where the back and sides of ran ge will be locatedwhen
installed. Use the diagram(s) above to locate the bracket(s) if a template is not
available.
2. Mark on the floor the location of the 2 (4) mounting holes shown on the
template. Foreasier installation, 3/16" diameter pilot holes, a 1t2" deep can be
dritled into the floor.
3. Remove the template and place the bracket(s)on the floor with the turned-up
flange to the side. Line up the holes in the bracket(s) with the marks on the floor
and attach with the screws provided. The bracket(s) must be secured to a solid
floor. If attaching to a concrete floor, first drill 3/16" diameter pilot holes using
a masonry drill bit.
4. Level the range if necessary by adjusting the 4 leg levelers with a wrench. See
Figure t, side box. A minimum clearance of 118" is required between the
bottom of the range and the rear leveling feet,
5. Slide the range into place making sure the rear legs are trapped by the ends of
the bracket(s). The range may need to be shifted slightly to one side as it isbeing
pushed back to allow the rear legsto align with the bracket(s). Remove the lower
panel or storage drawer to inspect the bracket(s), or grasp the top rear edge of
the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure the range is
properly anchored.
