-IMPORTANTSAFETY WARNING
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
securedtothefloorbyproperlyinstalledAnti-TipBracketand
screwspacked withtherange. Failureto install theanti-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.
Ifrangeis evermovedto adifferentlocation, theAnti-TipBracket
must also be moved and installed with the range.

make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are
secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be
sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

NORMALINSTALLATIONSTEPS
3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may be used
in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat
head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place (See Fig. 6).
1c. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting
the (4) leveling legs with a wrench. NOTE: A minimum
clearance of 1/8" is required between the bottom of the range
and the leveling leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit
level to check your adjustments. Slide range back into position
(See Fig. 7).

connected to the range by the center, lowest screw (See Fig. 13). The
groundstrapmust not be removed unless National,Stateor Local
Codes do not permit use of a ground strap.
NOTE: If the ground strap is removed for any reason, a separate
ground wire must be connected to the separate ground screw attached
totherange chassis and to an adequategroundsource.
NOTE: Non-terminated field wire compression connections must be
set at approximately 22 in./lbs.

wire on 4-Wire Connections). Tighten all 3 wire leads to the terminal
block (Follow wire locations shown in Fig. 14).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut
connections which secure the range wiring to the terminal block.
Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these 3
nuts are loosened or removed. NOTE: For 3-Wire Permanent
