ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: A risk of range tip over exists if the appliance is not installed in accordance with the installation instructions provided. The proper use of this device minimizes the risk of TIP-OVER. In using this device the consumer must still observe the safety precautions as stated in the USE and CARE MANUAL and avoid using the oven door and/or lower drawer as a step stool. Installation instructions are provided for wood and cement in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may require special installation techniques as deemed necessary to provide adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor or wall. STEP 1 - Locating The Bracket (see figure 1) A. Determine where either the right or left rear "edge" of the range will be located and mark the floor or wall. B. Place the BRACKET 15/16² (24 mm) from the marked "EDGE" toward center of opening and against the back wall as shown in figure 1, with orientation hole against wall. C. Use the bracket as a template and mark the required holes, as shown in figure 1 for the type of construction you will be using. STEP 2 - Anti-Tip Bracket Installation A. Wood Construction: 1. Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 1 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Drill a 1/8² (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the two screws provided. Proceed to STEP 3. 2. Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 1 as "HOLES FOR WALL. Drill an angled 1/8² (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole as shown in figure 2. (A nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the wall with the two screws provided as shown in figure 2. Proceed to STEP 3. B. Cement or Concrete Construction: 1. Suitable screws for concrete construction can be obtained at a hardware store. Drill the required size hole for the screws obtained into the concrete at the center of the holes identified in figure 1 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor. Proceed to STEP 3. STEP 3 - Range Installation A. A free-standing range may be installed by one person. B. Align the range to its designated location and slide it back into position. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4² (6 mm) is required between the range and the leveling foot that will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket, see figure 2. CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or backguard. C. For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS as well as optimum performance adjust the range so that it is level. This may be checked by placing a spirit level or a large pan of water on the cooktop or the oven rack. If an adjustment is required pull the range forward, tip the range and rotate the leveling feet as required. D. To check the range for proper installation of the anti-tip bracket: Use a flashlight and look underneath the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear leveling feet is engaged in the bracket slot. E. Proceed with the remainder of the installation instructions provided with the range. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 -4-
