Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.Do not use oven door handle to lift or move the range.

2.Remove shipping materials, tape and protective film from range. Keep cardboard bottom under range. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.

3.Take 4 cardboard corners from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid on its back. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

4.Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.

5.Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs. Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A maximum of 3/16" (5 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip bracket.

NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing, tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to adjust the rear legs.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Contact a qualified floor covering installer for the best procedure for drilling mounting holes through your type floor covering.

Before moving range, slide range onto shipping base, cardboard or hardboard.

1.Remove template from the anti-tip bracket kit (found inside the oven cavity).

2.Place template on the floor in the cabinet opening so that the left edge is against the cabinet and the top edge is against the rear wall, molding or cabinet.

3.Tape template in place.

4.If the countertop is not flush with the cabinet opening edge, align the template with the overhang.

If the cabinet opening is wider than specified in the “Location Requirements” section, adjust the template so the range will be centered in the cabinet opening.

5.To mount the anti-tip bracket to a wood floor, drill two 1/8" (3.2 mm) holes at the positions marked on the bracket template. Remove the template from the floor.

To mount the anti-tip bracket to a concrete or ceramic floor, use a 3/16" (4.8 mm) masonry drill bit to drill 2 holes at the positions marked on the bracket template. Remove the template from the floor.

6.Tap plastic anchors into holes with a hammer.

7.Align the anti-tip bracket holes with the holes in the floor. Fasten the anti-tip bracket with the screws provided.

Depending on the thickness of your flooring, longer screws may be necessary to anchor the bracket to the subfloor. Longer screws are available from your local hardware store.
