Installation Instructions

Preparing for Installation (cont.)

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket on the Wall

1.Determine the suitability of wall mounting the anti-tip bracket. To use the wall mount option, the range front panel must not be more than 27 1/2” from the wall and the bracket screws must be able to thread into the base plate inside the wall behind. The notches on the sides of the bracket indicated the minimum required height of the base plate inside the wall and that any floor covering is not too thick for proper screw thread engagement.

2.To install the bracket, place it against the wall in the mounting location. Using a drill with 1/8” diameter drill bit, drill four (4)

1 5/8” deep pilot holes perpendicular to the screw seating surfaces shown below. Attach the bracket to the wall as shown with the four (4) included #12 x 1 3/4 screws.

To determine if the base plate is high enough:

◊Determine the location of the range center line and front panel when the range is in its final position based on the product dimensions on page 5 and the actual cabinet/cutout dimensions used for the installation.

◊Determine and mark the required position of the anti-tip bracket, based on the diagram above. Push the bracket up against the wall in the mounting location.

◊Using a pencil, make a dot next to the notches on both sides of the bracket. Determine if the base plate is as high at the notches by drilling test holes into the wall at both dots with a 1/16” drill bit. Drill just deep enough to see if the bit contacts the base plate. If the bit contacts the base plate the location will support wall installation of the anti-tip bracket. If you do not contact the base plate, the wall mounting method may not be used and the floor mounting method must be suitable, or the wall must be modified so that the base plate is above the notches.
