Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and
Engaged
On models with a storage drawer:
1. Remove the storage drawer. To remove the storage drawer:
■
Pull the drawer straight out to the first stop.
■
Lift up on the back of the drawer and pull out.
2. Use a flashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range.
3. Visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into the slot
of the anti-tip bracket.
On models with a warming drawer:
1. Place your foot against the bottom front of the warming
drawer and grasp the control panel with two hands as shown.
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
3. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently
back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip
bracket.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting
the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket.
Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from
sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the
bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the
mounting screws.
4. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the floor or wall.
5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm)
from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the
bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an
obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. Changes
to the gas supply must be performed by a qualified service
technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to the
“Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the
cover or “Warranty” section of the User Instructions, for contact
information.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
If the rear of the range lifts more than
¹⁄₂
" (1.3 cm) off the floor
without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed
correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket
installed and engaged. Please reference the “Assistance or
Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or
“Warranty” section of the User Instructions, to contact
service.

3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket.
On Ranges Equipped with Storage Drawers:
Use
a ¼" drive ratchet, wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs
up or down until the range is level. Push range back into
position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip
bracket.
On Ranges Equipped with Warming Drawers:
Use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until
the range is level. Push range back into position. Check that
rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
