INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE
Install anti-tip bracket
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING!
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range
must be secured to the fl oor by properly installed an-
ti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. Fail-
ure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to
tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door
or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result
from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the
anti-tip bracket must also be moved and installed with
the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or
cement fastened to either the fl oor or wall. When
installed to the wall, make sure that screws completely
penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or met-
al. When fastening to the fl oor or wall, be sure that
screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
Anti-tip bracket installation instructions
a. Locate the bracket using the template - (Bracket
may be positioned on either the left or right side of the
range. Refer to Figs. 4, 5, & 7 to position the bracket if
template is not available).
Mark the fl oor or wall where left or right side of the
range will be located. If rear of range is against wall
or no further than 1-1/4” from wall when installed, you
may use the wall or fl oor mount method. If molding
is installed and does not allow the bracket to fi t fl ush
against wall, remove molding or mount bracket to fl oor.
For wall mount (Fig. 4), locate the bracket by placing
the back edge of the template against rear wall
and the side edge of template on the mark made
referencing the side of the range. Place bracket on
top of template and mark location of the screw holes
in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/4” from wall
when installed, attach bracket to the fl oor (See Fig. 5).

For fl oor mount, locate the bracket by placing back
edge of the template where the rear of the range will
be located. Mark the location of the screw holes shown
in template.
b. Drill pilot holes & fasten bracket - Drill 1/8” pilot hole
where screws are to be located (Fig. 6). If bracket is to
be mounted to the wall, drill
pilot hole at an approximate
20° downward angle. If
bracket is to be mounted to
masonry or ceramic fl oors,
drill 3/16” pilot hole 1-3/4”
deep. The screws provided
may be used in wood or
concrete material. Use
5/16” nut-driver or fl at head
screwdriver to secure the
bracket in place.
c. Level & position range - Level range by adjusting the
(4) leveling legs with a wrench.
Note: A min. clearance of 1/8” is required between bottom
of range and leveling legs to allow room for bracket.
Slide range back into position (Fig. 7). Remove lower
panel or storage drawer to visually check that rear
leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured by the
bracket. For models with a warmer drawer or broiler
compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range
and carefully attempt to tilt it forward.
