the anti-tip bracket must fit under an
attachment to the wall that can withstand
a force of 200 lbs. in the upward direction.
See Step 1 under INSTALL THE RANGE.
b. Island Installation:
To provide an optimum installation, the
top surface of the countertop must be
level and flat (lie on the same plane)
around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to
make the top flat should be made or
gaps between the countertop and range
cooktop may occur. Forcing the cooktop
to fit may cause excessive gaps.
