Page 16 highlights

Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and Engaged On Ranges Equipped with a Premium Storage Drawer: 1. Slide range into final location, making sure rear leveling leg slides into anti-tip bracket. 2. Remove the premium storage drawer. See the "Remove/ Replace Drawer" section. 3. Use a flashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range. 4. Visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket. On Ranges Equipped with a Warming Drawer or Baking Drawer: 1. Slide range into final location, making sure rear leveling leg slides into anti-tip bracket. Leave a 1" (2.5 cm) gap between the back of the range and the back wall. 2. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the warming drawer or baking drawer to keep the range from moving, and then grasp the back of the range as shown. 3. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward. If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Go to Step 8. 4. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip bracket. IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the mounting screws. 5. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall. 6. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket. 7. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please reference the "Warranty" section of the User Guide to contact service. 8. Move the range into its final location. Check that the range is level by placing a level on the oven bottom. See the "Level Range" section. IMPORTANT: If the range is moved to adjust the leveling legs, verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged by repeating steps 1 to 8. 16
