ANTI-TIP DEVICE
1. Before placing range in the counter, notice the
location of the stability bracket which is already
attached to the back of the range. This location
should work for most installations. However, it
may be more convenient to hook the stability chain
to the unit when the stability bracket is attached to
the upper set of holes in the back of the range. See
Fig. A. The upper level set of holes is intended for
use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not
being used, make sure that there are no structural
supports for the countertop which will interfere
with the stability bracket when located in the
upper set of holes.
2. Fasten one end of the stability chain to the floor
or wall with the long screw and washer supplied.
See Fig. B.
Make certain the screw is going into the wall plate
at the base of the wall or one of the studs in the
base of the wall. See Fig. C.
Whether you attach the chain to the wall or floor,
be certain that the screw is in at least 3/4 inch
thickness of wood other than baseboard and that
there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the
area which the screw could penetrate. Attach the
stability chain in a location which will allow the
chain to be in line with the bracket side to aid as
much as possible when attached to the unit. Test to
see if the chain is securely fastened by tugging on
the chain.
3. Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to
the rear of the countertop with the tape from the
packaging. See Fig. D.
4. Place the range in the counter cutout leaving just
enough room between the back of the range and
the wall to reach the stability bracket.
5. Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket
by slipping the nearest link of the chain into the
slot in the bracket. See Fig. A. Make sure the chain
is pulled as tight as possible and that there is no
excess slack in the chain after the chain is attached
to the bracket.
6. Slide the range all the way back into the counter.
Once the range is pushed back in place, there will
be a small amount of slack in the chain. This
is normal.
NOTE:
• If attaching to masonry, you can buy suitable screws
and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill
to drill the required holes.
• If range is removed for cleaning or any other
reason, make sure chain is reattached.
