A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/
4" or 1/2" I.D.) must be design certified by CSA
International. Because solid pipe restricts moving the
range we recommend using a new flexible conduit (4
to 5 foot length) for each new installation and additional
reinstallations.
• Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT
x 3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible
appliance conduit for connection of the range.
Normal Installation Steps
1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must
be secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket
and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the
anti-tip bracket 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.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the
wall, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall
and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the
floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing.
A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template- (Bracket may
be located on either the left or right side of the range.
Use the information below to locate the bracket if
template is not available). Mark the floor or wall where
left or right side of the range will be located. If rear of
range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4" from
wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor
mount method. If molding is installed and does not
allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove
molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount,
locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the
template against the rear wall and the side edge of
template on the mark made referencing the side of the
range. Place bracket on top of template and mark
location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is
further than 1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach
bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate the
bracket by placing back edge of the template where
the rear of the range will be located. Markthe location
of the screw holes, shown in template.

B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be
mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate
20 ° downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to
masonry or ceramic
floors,
drill a 5/32"
pilot
hole 1-3/
4" deep. The screws provided may be used in wood or
concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat head
screwdriver to secure the bracket in place.
