Anti-Tip Brackets JnstaJJation
instructions
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range,
the range must be secured to the floor by properly
installed anti-tip brackets and screws packed with the
range. Those parts are located in a plastic, bag in the
oven. Failure to install the anti-tip brackets will allow the
range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an
open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury
might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range
itself.
Follow the instructions below to install the anti-tip
brackets.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the
range. To check for proper installation, see step 5.
TooJs Required:
5/16" (0,79 cm) Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench
Electric Drill
3/16" (0,48 cm) Diameter Drill Bit
3/16" (0,48 cm) Diameter Masonry Drill Bit (if installinc
in concrete)
Brackets attach to the floor at the back of tile range to
hold both rear leg levelers. When fastening to tile floor,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood
or concrete.

1. Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor
with the back and side edges positioned exactly
where the back and sides of range will be located
when installed. (Use the diagram below to locate
brackets if template is not available (Figure 16)).
2. Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting
holes shown on the template. For easier installation,
3/16" (O.S cm) diameter pilot holes I/2"(!,27
cm)(!.3 cm) deep can be drilled into the floor.
3. Remove template and place brackets on floor with
turned up flange to the front. Line up holes in
brackets with marks on floor and attach with 4
screws provided. Brackets must be secured to solid
floor. If attaching to concrete floor, first drill 3/16"
(O.S cm) dia. pilot holes using a masonry drill bit.
4. Level range if necessary, by adjusting 4 leg levelers
with wrench. (See Figure 17 below.)A minimum
clearance of 1/8" (0.8 cm) is required between the
bottom of the range and the rear leg levelers to
allow room for tile anti-tip brackets.
S. Slide range into place making sure rear legs are
trapped by ends of brackets. Range may need to be
shifted slightly to one side as it is being pushed back
to allow rear legs to align with brackets. You may
also grasp tile top rear edge of tile range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure
range is properly anchored.
