WARNING
To reduce the RISK OF TIPPING the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
Secure the bracket with the screws provided.
NOTE:
The installation of the ANTI-TIP bracket must meet all
local codes for securing the appliance.

LOCATE THE BRACKET
STEP 1
IMPORTANT:
Determine the final location of the range
before attempting to install the bracket.
a.
Place the bracket on the floor with the back edge against
the rear wall. If the range does not reach the rear wall,
align the back edge of the bracket with the rear panel of
the range in its final location.
If bracket does not touch the rear wall, you MUST
screw bracket to FLOOR as described in Step 2.
b.
Position the side of the bracket against either the left or
right cabinet. If there is no adjacent cabinet, align the
edge of the bracket with the side panel of the range in
its final location. If the countertop overhangs the
cabinet, offset the bracket from the cabinet by the
amount of overhang.
c.
Mark the location for the pair of holes to be used (see
illustration above).
NOTE:
For FLOOR installation use either Loc A or B. For
REAR WALL installation use Loc C.
SECURE THE BRACKET
STEP 2
The bracket must be screwed to either the FLOOR or REAR
WALL.
FLOOR Installation:
WOOD FLOOR: Use the screws provided to secure the
bracket using the pair of marked holes (either Loc A or B).
CONCRETE FLOOR: Using a concrete bit, drill a 5/32” pilot
hole 2” deep into the concrete at the center of each of the
marked holes (either Loc A or B). Use the screws provided to
secure the bracket into the floor.
REAR WALL Installation:
Use the 2 screws provided to secure the bracket using the
pair of marked holes at Loc C. The screws MUST enter into
a wood sill plate. If the wall contains any metal studs or
similar materials, then the floor must be used.
CHECK THE BRACKET
STEP 3
After installing the bracket, slide the range into its final
location. The rear leveling leg must be fully inserted into the
ANTI-TIP bracket. If the range has a storage drawer, remove
the drawer and look underneath the range to see if the leg
is fully engaged in the bracket as shown in Step 1.
On models without storage drawer or kickpanel, verify the
rear leveling leg is properly secured within the bracket by
carefully tipping the range forward. DO NOT tip the range
more than 4 inches. If the bracket does not stop the range
within 4 inches, the bracket is NOT properly installed and
MUST be reinstalled following these instructions.
The anti-tip bracket must be PROPERLY INSTALLED and
the rear leveling leg must be FULLY ENGAGED into the
bracket to prevent the range from tipping. NEVER
remove the leveling legs. This will prevent the range
from being secured to the ANTI-TIP bracket properly.
