Anti-tip bracket attaches to the floor to hold
either rear range leg. When fastening to the
floor, be sure that the screw does not penetrate
electrical wiring or plumbing. If you cannot be
sure of this, use a shorter screw that will not
penetrate through the flooring.
1. Decide whether the anti-tip bracket will be
installed on the right or left side of the range
location.
2. If the bracket side of the range is next to a
cabinet, place the bracket against back wall and
cabinet.
If there is no adjacent cabinet, determine where
the location of the range side (painted outside
panel) will be. Place the bracket with its outside
edge at this location and against the back wall.
Adjacent

3. Screw the bracket securely to the floor with
the screw provided. The screw is self-drilling in
wood, plywood, particle and chip board, and
most metal framing. If attaching to masonry, you
can buy suitable screws and/or anchors at
hardware stores. Use a masonry drill to drill the
required holes.
