1. Before placing range in the

counter, notice the location of the

stability bracket, which is already
attached to the back of the 

This location should work for 

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. 2). Make sure
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 the wall with
the long screw and washer

supplied. Make certain the screw is

 into the wall plate at the

base of the wall or one of the studs

 the base of the wall (see Fig. 1).

4. Place the range in the counter

the wall or floor, be certain that the
screw is in at least 3/4” 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-side as
much as possible when attached to
the unit. Test to see if the chain is

securely fastened by tugging on
the chain.

NOTE: If attaching to masonry
you can buy suitable screws and
anchors at hardware stores. Use

a masonry drill to drill the
required holes.

3. Temporarily attach the loose
end of the chain to the rear of the
countertop with the tape from the
packaging (see Fig. 

2

Main Back

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. 2),
making sure the chain is pulled as
tight as possible and that there is
no excess slack in the chain after
chain is attached to the bracket.

Excess slack in the chain
could allow the range to tip over
excessively.

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.
