40" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.
Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
To reduce the risk of tipping the appliance,
the appliance must be secured to the floor by the properly
installed anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the
range. These parts are located in the oven. Failure to
install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if
excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child
climbs on it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot
liquids or from the range itself.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-
tip brackets must also be moved and installed with the
range.
Tools Required:
•
Adjustable Wrench
•
Ratchet
•
Drill & 1/8" (0,32 cm) bit
•
5/16" (0,8 cm) Nutdriver
•

Tip Over Hazard
• A child or adult can tip the range
and be killed.
• Verify the anti-tip device has been
installed to floor or wall.
• Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged to floor or wall
when the range is moved.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in
place and engaged.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children and adults.

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use both
arms to grasp the rear edge of the range back. Carefully
attempt to tilt range forward. When properly installed, the range
should not tilt forward.
Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied
with your range for proper installation.
5.1
Locate the Bracket Using the Template
Bracket may be located on either the left or right side of
the range. Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of
the range will be located.
If rear of range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4"
from wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor
mount method. If molding is installed and does not allow
the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove molding or
mount bracket to the floor.
For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back
edge of the template against the rear wall and the side
edge of template on the mark made referencing the side
of the range. Place bracket on top of template and mark
location of the screw holes in wall.
If rear of range is further than 1-1/4" from the wall when
installed, attach bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate
the bracket by placing back edge of the template where
the rear of the range will be located.
Mark the location of the screw holes shown in template.
