IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
INFORMATION:
The Anti-Tip Bracket works in conjunction with either
rear right or rear left leveler-choose which side best suits
your install method. First step is to ensure the leveler is
raised enough to allow the prongs of the Anti-Tip Bracket
to freely slide around leveler bolt-this should be tested
before you fasten bracket to wall or floor.
To correctly determine mounting position of Anti-Tip
Bracket, measure width of cabinet opening. Assuming
range will be centered in middle of opening, mark middle
of opening and measure 14 5/16” for 30” range or
17 5/16” for 36” range -measurement from middle of
opening to outside edge of Anti-tip bracket. This position
will allow leveler bolt to line up with center of “V” in
bracket. Once position is determined, follow below
instructions.
*
The Anti-Tip Bracket may be attached to a solid wood
cabinet having a minimum wall thickness of ¾
”
*
The thickness of the wall or floor may require use of
longer screws, available at your local hardware store.
*
In all cases, at least two (2) of the bracket mounting
screws must be fastened to solid wood or metal.
*
Use appropriate anchors when fastening bracket to any
material other than hardwood or metal.
Prepare holes at fastener locations as
identified below:
*
For walls, wall studs or floors composed of solid wood
or metal, drill 1/8
”
pilot holes.
*
For walls or floors composed of drywall, sheetrock,
or other soft materials, drill 3/16
”
holes to a minimum
depth of 1 ¾
”
, then tap plastic anchors into each of the
holes using a hammer.
*
For walls or floors having ceramic tile covering, drill
3/16
”
holes through the tile only and then drill 1/8
”
pilot holes through material behind the tile.
*
Secure bracket with appropriate screws.
*
After gas/electrical connections have been made,
carefully slide range into opening using floor protection
to avoid damage, ensuring that range leveler is engaged
into Anti-Tip Bracket.
*
If range is moved to a new location, or pulled out
from wall and re-installed, installer must ensure range
is engaged into Anti-Tip Bracket before completing
installation. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in death or serious burns to adults and children.
Power cord installation
The new U.S. revised electrical code states that all new
construction must use a FOUR WIRE range power cord.
Existing construction may use a three wire range power
cord.
NOTE: The difference is, a four wire cord has a
separate ground. A three wire cord is grounded through
the neutral.
Installation, adjustment and service of this range must
be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or
electrical serviceman. This is necessary to insure proper
operation of the range and to avoid the possibility of
damage to the range or injury to the users.
WARNING: Be careful when reaching into storage cabinets
above range while it is in operation. One might accidentally
contact a hot burner when using a hand for support or have
one’s clothing come in contact with top burner flame.
