Care and cleaning of the range (cont.).
If the range is removed for cleaning or any reason, make sure the chain is reattached.
Anti-Tip Device
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 range.
The upper level set of holes is 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.
Fasten one end of the stability chain
to the floor or wall with the long
screw and washer supplied.
NOTE:
If attaching to masonry, you can buy
suitable screws and anchors at hardware stores.
Use a masonry drill to drill the required holes.
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.
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 aide as much as possible
when attached to the unit. Test to see if
the chain is securely fastened by tugging
on the chain.
Temporarily attach the loose
end of the chain to the rear of the
countertop with the tape from the
packaging.
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.
Hook the loose end of the chain
onto the bracket by slipping the
nearest link of the chain into the
slot in the bracket. 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.
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.
CAUTION:
Excessive slack in the chain could
allow the range to tip over.

Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use. Clean with mild soap and
water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean
water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleansers on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
