Anti-Tip
Brackets
JnstaJJation
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range,
the range must be secured to the floor by properly
installed anti-tip brackets and screws packed with the
range. Those parts are located in a plastic bag in the
oven. Failure to install the antPtip brackets will allow the
range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an
open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury
might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range
itself.
Follow the instructions below to install the antPtip
brackets.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the antPtip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the
range. To check for proper installation,
see step 5.
Tools Required:
5/16" (0,79 cm) Nut driver or Flat Head Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench
Electric Drill
3/16" (0,48 cm) Diameter Drill Bit
3/16" (0,48 cm) Diameter Masonry Drill Bit (if installing
in concrete)
Brackets
attach to tile floor at the back of the range to
hold both rear leg levelers. When
fastening
to the floor,
be sure that screws do not penetrate
electrical
wiring
or
plumbing.
The screws provided
will work
in either wood
or concrete.
1.
Unfold paper template and place it flat on the floor
with the back and side edges positioned exactly
where the back and sides of range will be located
when installed. (Use the diagram below to locate
brackets if template is not available.)
2.
Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting
holes shown on the template. For easier installation,
3/16" (0.5 cm) diameter pilot holes !/2"(1,27
cm)
(1.3 cm) deep can be drilled into the floor.
3.
Remove template and place brackets on floor with
turned up flange to the front. Line up holes in
brackets with marks on floor and attach with 4
screws provided. Brackets must be secured to solid
floor. If attaching to concrete floor, first drill 3/16"
(0.5 cm) dia. pilot holes using a masonry drill bit.
4.
Level range if necessa% by adjusting 4 leg levelers
with wrench. (See Figure below.) A minimum
clearance of 1/8" (0.8 cm) is required between tile
bottom of the range and the rear leg levelers to
allow room for the antPtip brackets.
5.
Slide range into place making sure rear legs are
trapped by ends of brackets. Range may need to be
shifted slightly to one side as it is being pushed back
to allow rear legs to align with brackets. You may
also grasp tile top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward to make sure
range is properly anchored.
