Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket on the Wall
1. Determine the suitability of wall mounting the anti-tip
bracket. To use the wall mount option, the range front
panel must not be more than 27 3/8” (69.5 cm) from
the wall and the bracket screws must be able to thread
into the base plate inside the wall behind. The notches
on the sides of the bracket indicate the minimum
required height of the base plate inside the wall and
that any floor covering is not too thick for proper screw
thread engagement.
To determine if the base plate is high enough:
a. Determine the location of the range center line
and front panel when the range is in its final
position based on the
Product Dimensions
on page 4 and the actual cabinet/cutout
dimensions used for the installation.
b. Determine and mark the required position of the
anti-tip bracket, based on the diagram above.
Push the bracket up against the wall in the
mounting location.
c. Using a pencil, make a dot next to the notches
on both sides of the bracket. Determine if the
base plate is as high at the notches by drilling
test holes into the wall at both dots with a 1/16”
drill bit. Drill just deep enough to see if the
bit contacts the base plate. If the bit contacts
the base plate the location will support wall
installation of the anti-tip bracket. If you do not
contact the base plate, or you contact metal stud
mounting materials, the wall mounting method
may not be used and the floor mounting method
must be suitable, or the wall must be modified so
that the base plate is above the notches.
4. To install the bracket, place it against the wall in the
mounting location shown in the diagram, upper right.
Using a drill with 1/8” diameter drill bit, drill four (4) 1
5/8” deep pilot holes perpendicular to the screw seating
surfaces shown, above right. Attach the bracket to the
wall as shown with the four (4) included #12 x 1 3/4
screws.

Backguard Kit Installation
See page 4 for available part numbers and
compatibility.
If installing a backguard other than the standard size,
install it before pushing the range into place. Install the kit
according to the accompanying installation instructions. A
T-20 Torx driver is required.
NOTE: If installing a raised vent (models DR30GIS and
DR30GIFS only), do not use a backguard other than the
standard 1 3/4 inch version installed at the factory.
