KitchenAid W10440551A Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed Engaged, Level Range

Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and

Engaged

On models with a storage drawer:

1.Remove the storage drawer. To remove the storage drawer:

■Pull the drawer straight out to the first stop.

■Lift up on the back of the drawer and pull out.

6.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

If the rear of the range lifts more than ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or “Warranty” section of the User Instructions, to contact service.

2.Use a flashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range.

3.Visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket.

On models with a warming drawer:

1.Place your foot against the bottom front of the warming drawer and grasp the control panel with two hands as shown.

2.Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.

If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

3.If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the mounting screws.

4.Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall.

5.Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm) from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. Changes to the gas supply must be performed by a qualified service technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide, or the cover or “Warranty” section of the User Instructions, for contact information.
