ANTI-TIP DEVICE
1. Before placing range in the counter, notice the
location of the stability bracket which is already
attached to the back of the range. This location
should work for most installations. However, it may
be more convenient to hook the stability chain to
the unit when the stability bracket is attached to
the upper set of holes in the back of the range. See
Fig. A. The upper level set of holes are intended for
use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not
being used, make sure that there are no structural
supports for the countertop which will interfere
with the stability bracket when located in the
upper set of holes.
2. Fasten one end of
the stability chain to
the floor or wall with
the long screw and
washer supplied. See
Fig. B. Make certain
the screw is going
into the wall plate at
the base of the wall or one of the studs in the base
of the wall. See Fig. C. Whether you attach the
chain to the wall or floor, be certain that the screw
is in at least 3/4 inch thickness of wood other than
baseboard and that there are no electrical wires or
plumbing in the area which the screw could
penetrate. Attach the stability chain in a location
which will allow the chain to be in line with the
bracket side to aid as much as possible when
attached to the unit. Test to see if the chain is
securely fastened by tugging on the chain.
3. Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain
to the rear of the countertop with the tape from
the packaging. See Fig. D.
4. Place the range in the counter cutout leaving just
enough room between the back of the range and the
wall to reach the stability bracket.
5. Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket
by slipping the nearest link of the chain into the
slot in the bracket. See Fig. A and make sure the
chain is pulled as tight as possible and that there
is no excess slack in the chain after the chain is
attached to the bracket.
6. Slide the range all the way back into the counter.
Once the range is pushed back in place, there will
be a small amount of slack in the chain. This
is normal.
NOTE:
• If attaching to masonry, you can buy suitable screws
and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill
to drill the required holes.
• If range is removed for cleaning or any other reason,
make sure chain is reattached.
