device information in the Installa tion Manual.
To check if the device is properly installed and engaged, look
underneath the range with a fla shlight to make sure one of
the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot.
The Anti-Tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor
when properly engaged. You should check this anytime the
