Installing the Anti-tip Bracket and Foot
There are two ways to mount the anti-tip bracket: Floor mounting (preferred), and wall mounting
(Pg. 22). Use this method if floor mounting is unsuitable; however, if the range's front panel is over
26 1/2” (67.3 cm) from the back wall or if the floor is too thick, floor mounting must be used.
Anchors shown
(concrete
sub-floor only)
•Four plastic anchors are provided with
three sizes (4 each) of #8 or #12 Phillips
head screws for attaching the anti-tip
bracket to the floor. Use both anchors
and four of the screws to attach the
bracket to a concrete sub-floor. Do not
use anchors on a wood sub-floor.
•Determine the location of the range
center line and front panel for the
range’s final position based on the
Product Dimensions (Pg. 14) and the
actual cabinet/cutout dimensions used
for the installation.

Floor-Mounting the Anti-Tip Bracket, cont.
English 21
•Determine the required position of the anti-tip bracket, based on the diagram below. Mark the
4 mounting-hole locations on the floor with a pencil.
•Determine the screw size. The minimum full thread depth (portion of screw threaded into
wood/slab) is 3/8” (1 cm) for wood and 5/8” (1.6 cm) for concrete. (See SCREW SIZE table,
below, for correct screw sizes.)
Attaching the Bracket to a Concrete Floor
1. Drill four 3/8” dia. countersink holes through flooring to but not into the concrete.
2. Through these holes, drill 4 anchor holes 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) into the concrete with a 3/16”
masonry bit. This hole length is longer than the anchor. Clean out the holes, and tap in each
anchor so its top is flush with the concrete surface.
3. Align the bracket and anchor holes, then insert and tighten the screws.
Attaching the Bracket to a Wood Floor
1. Ceramic, stone, other hard flooring over wood: Drill 4 countersink holes to access the
wood for drilling pilot holes.
2. Drill 4 pilot holes in the wood with a drill bit (1/16” dia. for #8 screws, 1/8” dia. for #12
screws). Align the bracket and pilot holes, then insert and tighten the screws.

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket and Foot, cont.
Wall-Mounting the Anti-Tip Bracket
For this option to be suitable, the range front panel must be 26 1/2" (67.3 cm) or less from the
wall, and the bracket screws must be able to engage the base plate inside the wall. Notches on
the sides of the bracket indicate the minimum height of the base plate and that any floor
covering thickness will not impede secure threading.
To determine if the base height is suitable:
• Determine the location of the range centerline and front panel when the range is in its final
position based on the product dimensions on Pg. 14 and the actual cabinet/cutout
dimensions used for the installation.
• Determine and mark the required position of the anti-tip bracket, based on the diagram on
Pg. 21. Push the bracket up against the wall in the mounting location.
• With a pencil, make a dot next to the notches on both sides of the bracket. Determine if the
base plate is as high as the notches by drilling test holes into the wall at both dots with a
1/16” drill bit. Drill just deep enough to see if the bit contacts the base plate. If there is
contact, the location will support wall installation of the bracket. If there is no contact, wall
mounting is unsuitable, and either floor mounting must be used, or the wall must be altered
so there is base material above the notches.
To install the bracket, place it against the wall in the mounting location. Using a drill with 1/8"
diameter drill bi

Electrical Connection
C
AUTION
For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with the range. Remove the house fuse or open
the circuit breaker before starting the installation.
The range must receive the proper voltage and frequency and connect to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the
rating plate (left-side door trim). The range's power hookup should be done by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where to turn off power to the range.
Consult local utilities for applicable codes. Failure to wire your oven per these codes could create a
safety hazard. If there are no such codes, your range must be wired and fused per the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition. For a copy, write: National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
Effective Jan. 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction use a 4-
conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction,
follow Steps 2 and 3 for 4-wire connection.
• A 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 240 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system is required. If the home
electrical service does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an
approved outlet.
• Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided
with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
• A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. (A 50 amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1⅜" diameter
connection openings. Center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the
edge from damaging the cable.)
• Because range terminals are inaccessible when the range is in position, flexible conduit/cord
must be used.
NOTE
If conduit is being used, see Pg. 25.
ALL NEW BRANCH-CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION, MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES PROHIBIT GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A
4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.

Gas Connection
WARNING
• Turn off the gas-supply valve, and turn off power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box
before connecting the gas line.
• Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening gas connections and fittings.
• Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on gas flex-line connections.
• Maximum gas-supply pressure to the regulator must not exceed ½ psi (pounds per square inch)
or 3.5 kPa.
• The range and shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping for pressure
testing that exceeds ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
• The range must be isolated from the gas-supply piping by closing the shut-off valve for pressure
testing at or below ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
•
Check all gas lines for leaks as instructed to avoid fire/explosions hazard. Do not check for leaks
with a flame.
