Anti-tip bracket must be securely mounted to the back wall or
floor. Thickness of flooring may require longer screws to anchor
bracket to subfloor. Longer screws are available from your local
hardware store.
Parts needed
Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas
supply and electrical supply. See the “Electrical Requirements”
and “Gas Supply Requirements” sections.
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do
not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
■
It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial/rating number plate.
The model/serial/ rating number plate is located behind the
control panel.
■
The range should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
■
Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of
the sides and rear of the range.
■
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
or microwave hood combination that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
■
All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed
must be sealed.

Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged:
•
Slide range forward.
•
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.
