Unpacking and moving the range

9 CAUTION
• DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's
handle, as this may damage the door
hinges and cause the door to fit incorrectly.
• DO NOT lift the appliance by the range's
control panel.
• The unit is heavy and should be handled
accordingly. Proper safety equipment such
as gloves and adequate manpower of at
least two people must be used in moving the range to
avoid injury and to avoid damage to the unit or the
floor.
• Rings, watches, and any other loose items that may
damage the unit or otherwise might become
entangled with the unit should be removed.
• Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.
• DO NOT use a hand truck or appliance dolly on the
back or front of the unit. Handle from the side only.
Unpacking the range
• DO NOT remove control panel foam until unit is
completely installed.
• DO NOT lift on the control panel at any point during
the installation.
To unpack the appliance
1. Remove the outer carton and packing materials from
the shipping pallet.
2. Leave the protective film over brushed-metal surfaces,
to protect finish from scratches, until the range is
installed in its final position.
3. Remove the grates, burner caps and oven racks to
facilitate handling.
4. If desired, the oven doors may be removed (see "Door
removal and adjustment").
Moving the range
Due to the weight, a furniture dolly with soft wheels or an
air lift should be used to move this unit. The weight must
be supported uniformly across the bottom.
To remove the pallet bolts
1. To remove the pallet bolts in the front and in the back,
use a 7/16'' (11 mm) wrench or ratchet and socket to
remove the pallet bolt from the bottom of the pallet.
2. Lift range and remove it from the pallet. Use
additional help as required to remove from pallet.
3. Transport the range by furniture dolly close to its final
location. Unit should not be dollied from the front. DO
NOT slide the range across an unprotected floor.

4. The range can then be tipped back and supported on
the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed. THE
FLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED
BEFORE PUSHING THE UNIT INTO POSITION.

Installing the anti-tip bracket (required)

For all ranges, an anti-tip device must be installed as per
these instructions.
9 WARNING—DANGER OF TIPPING ON RANGES
• All ranges can tip and injury can result. To
prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach it to the floor, wall, or cabinet by
installing the anti-tip bracket supplied.
• A child or adult can tip the range over and
be killed or seriously injured. Verify that the
anti-tip bracket is securely installed. Ensure
the anti-tip bracket is engaged when the
range is moved.
• DO NOT operate the range without
the anti-tip bracket in place. Failure to
follow the instructions in this manual
can result in death or serious burns to
children and adults.
• If the range is pulled away from the
wall for cleaning, service, or any other
reason, ensure that the anti-tip
bracket is properly reengaged when
the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event
of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting,
or leaning on an open door), failure to take this
precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal
injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the
range itself.
• Check for proper installation and use of anti-tip
bracket. Carefully tip range forward pulling from the
back to ensure that the anti-tip bracket engages the
range and prevents tip-over. Range should not move
more than 1'' (25 mm).
9 WARNING—ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Use extreme caution when drilling holes into the wall
or floor as there may be concealed electrical wires.
• Identify the electrical circuits that could be affected by
the installation of the Anti-Tip Bracket, then turn off
power to these circuits.
• Failure to follow these instructions may result in
electrical shock or other personal injury.
IMPORTANT:
• Hardware provided is for mounting through standard
thickness wood studs. Installers are responsible to
provide hardware for other types of mounting
situations.
• Contact a qualified installer or contractor to
determine the proper method for drilling holes
through the wall or floor material (such as ceramic tile,
hardwood, etc.)
