10ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range

must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,

remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look under-

neath the range to see that the leveling leg

is engaged in the bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward.

The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range

13FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

Be sure power is in service to the building.

Check that all packing materials and tape have been removed. This will include tape on metal panel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

Check that the door and drawer are parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly. If they do not, see the Owner’s Manual for proper replacement.

Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg is fully inserted into the anti-tip bracket and that the bracket is securely installed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.

Check that the oven control operates properly. If the oven control does not operate properly, recheck the wiring connections.

Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving the range.
