Install the anti-tip bracket to hold the left rear leg of the slide-in range. Follow these steps to secure the range to
the floor before moving the range into final operating position.
STEP 1: LOCATE THE BRACKET
Determine the final location of the range before attempting to install the bracket.
1.
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.
NOTE: If bracket does not touch the rear wall, you MUST screw bracket to floor as described in Step 2.
2.
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.
3.
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.
STEP 2: SECURE THE BRACKET
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.

STEP 3: CHECK THE BRACKET
After installing the bracket, slide the range into its final location. The rear leveling leg must be fully inserted
into the ANTI-TIP bracket as shown in Step 1. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look
underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage
drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range
forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the
leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: 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.
