The bracket attaches to floor or wall to hold either the
right or left rear leg leveler. If fastening to the floor,
be sure that the screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing. If this cannot be determined, use
shorter screws that will not penetrate through
flooring.
If the bracket came with your range, it is shipped
attached to the lower range back. Remove and discard
the shipping screw that holds the bracket and then
follow the instructions below.
1. Decide whether the bracket will be installed on the
right or left side of the range location.
2. If the bracket side of the range is adjacent to a
cabinet, place the bracket against back wall and
cabinet as shown in Figure 1.
If there is no adjacent cabinet, determine where
the location of the range side (painted outside
panel) will be. Place the bracket with its outside
edge at this location and against the back wall.
See Figure 1.
3. Determine whether you will anchor the bracket to
the floor or wall. Fasten the bracket securely with
the screws provided. The screws are self-drilling in
wood, plywood, particle and chip board, and most
metal framing. If attaching to masonry you can buy
suitable screws and anchors at hardware stores. Use
a masonry drill to drill the required holes.
4. Using the wrench, back out the four leg levelers at
least two turns. See the Installation Instructions for
more leveling information before positioning range.
5. Slide the range into place. Be sure the rear leg
leveler fully engages the slot in the bracket. If
the range cannot be moved back far enough for
the rear leg leveler to enter the bracket, move the
bracket forward as required and attach to the floor
in the new location.
