10. Anti-tip Bracket Installation
Important Safety Warning
This range must be properly secured to the floor
by using the included anti-tip brackets and screws.
Failure to install the brackets could allow the range
to accidentally 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. Refer to the instructions below for proper
installation (Figure 10).
NOTE: If the range is ever moved to a different
location, the anti-tip brackets must also be moved and
installed with the range.
The anti-tip kit is located in a plastic bag in the
oven.
Tools Required:
5/16” Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench
3/16” Dia. Masonry Drill Bit (if installing in concrete)
Attach brackets to the 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.
Range may be anchored to floor in a house with hold
down brackets as illustrated in Figure 10. These hold
down brackets allow range to be freely pulled out from
the wall for cleaning or servicing without the use of
tools.
1. Attach brackets to the floor or rear wall with screws
provided. Important: Attachment must be secured
to solid floor or wall. Do not attach to plaster, sheet
rock, or other soft material. If attachment is to rear
wall, any moldings must be removed in area behind
range.
2. If brackets are to be attached to masonry or
ceramic floors, position brackets on floor and mark
hole location. Drill 3/16” holes.
3. Lower both rear leg levelers about three turns so
the brackets will slide over leveler head.
4. Level the range front to back and side to side with
the two front leg levelers and the rear levelers.

range is properly anchored.
For mobile homes, the range must be anchored to the
floor as illustrated in Figure 11.
