ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

To prevent the range from tipping over due to improper use or overloading the open door, an anti-tip bracket (included in the package) must be installed properly by following the instructions below. The anti-tip bracket can be fixed at either the left or right side of the appliance.

• Place the anti-tip bracket on the floor where the range is going to be installed.
• Locate and mark the drill position through the 6 holes in the bracket. And then place the bracket aside.
• Use a 5/16’’ masonry drill to drill two holes in a suitable depth.
• Insert 6 plastic anchors into the 6 holes and place the bracket back.
• Fix the bracket on the floor by using the screws supplied.
• Slide the appliance in position.

NOTE: If the range is relocated, the bracket must be removed and installed in a new location. Install the anti-tip bracket on either the right or left side. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip bracket.

LEVEL THE RANGE

WARNING: Never completely remove the leveling leg as the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly. The electric range must be installed levelly for proper operation. There are four screw-typeeveling legs at the bottom of the range for you to adjust the level of the range, rotating clockwise to rise and counterclockwise to lower the height, Use a leveling instrument to check the level of the range.

FINAL 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 panels 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.
• If applicable – install handles following handle installation instructions and check that both ends are secured.
