Attaching the bracket to a concrete floor:
•
Drill four (4) 3/8” diameter countersink holes through
any existing floor covering to the concrete slab below.
•
Drill the 4 holes for the anchors 1 1/4” (3.2 cm) deep
into the concrete slab using a 3/16” masonry bit. This
hole length is longer than the anchor, but is required
for proper installation. Clear the holes of dust and any
other material. Tap each anchor into the hole until the
anchor top is flush with the top of the concrete slab.
Position the anti-tip bracket holes over the anchor
holes. Insert the screws through the four (4) holes
in the base of the bracket and thread them into the
anchors. Be sure the screw threads fully engage the
anchor body. Tighten the screws into place.
Attaching the bracket to a wood floor:
•
If there is ceramic, asphalt or other hard floor covering
over the wood below, drill four (4) countersink holes to
allow access to the wood below for drilling pilot holes.
•
Drill four (4) pilot holes into the wood floor using a drill
bit (1/16” dia. for #8 screws, 1/8” dia. for #12 screws).
Position the anti-tip bracket holes over the holes in the
floor. Insert the screws into the wood and tighten into
place.
CL
Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket on the Floor
(cont.)
Four (4) plastic anchors are provided along with three sizes
(4 each) of #8 or #12 Phillips head screws for attaching
the anti-tip bracket to the floor. Use both the anchors and
four (4) of the #8 screws when attaching the bracket to a
concrete sub-floor. Do not use the anchors when attaching
to a wood sub-floor.
1. 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 4
and the actual cabinet/cutout dimensions used for the
installation.
2. Determine the required position of the anti-tip bracket,
based on the diagram, bottom right. Mark the four (4)
mounting hole locations on the floor with a pencil.
3. Determine the screw size required. The minimum full
thread depth (portion of screw threaded into wood/slab)
for wood is 3/8” (1 cm) and 5/8” (1.6 cm) for concrete.
See the table below to select the correct screw size.
