Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Is Installed and
Engaged
On Ranges with a Storage Drawer:
1. Remove the storage drawer. See the “Storage Drawer”
section.
2. Use a ashlight to look underneath the bottom of the range.
3. Visually check that the rear range foot is inserted into the slot
of the anti-tip bracket.
On Ranges with a Warming Drawer or Premium Storage
Drawer:
1. Place the outside of your foot against the bottom front of the
warming drawer or premium storage drawer, and grasp the
lower right or left side of the control panel as shown.
NOTE: If your countertop is mounted with a backsplash, it
may be necessary to grasp the range higher than is shown in
the illustration.
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
3. If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the
oor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it
gently back to the oor. The range foot is not engaged in the
anti-tip bracket.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when
lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the
bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range
from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding
into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place
by the mounting screws.
4. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the oor or wall.
5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm)
from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage
the bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there
is an obstruction between the range and the mounting wall.
Changes to the gas supply must be performed by a qualied
service technician. If you need assistance or service, refer to the
“Warranty” for contact information.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the
oor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be
installed correctly. Do not operate the range without anti-tip
bracket installed and engaged. Please refer “Warranty” to
contact service.
