lation.
5.1 Installing the anti-tip bracket
The range can tip forward, potentially causing injury and
damage, if the anti-tip bracket is not properly installed. Do
not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place.
WARNING
A child or adult can tip the range over and be killed.
Verify that the anti-tip bracket is securely installed. En-
▶
sure the anti-tip bracket is engaged when the range is
moved.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Use extreme caution when drilling holes into the wall or
▶
floor as there may be concealed electrical wires.
Identify the electrical circuits that could be affected by
▶
the installation of the anti-tip bracket, then turn off
power to these circuits.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in electri-
▶
cal shock or other personal injury.
Position the bracket as shown in the back left corner of
1.
the installation opening, against the back wall and the
left cabinet wall.
Note: The mounting surface must be secure. When
mounting to the cabinet wall make sure the screws en-
gage the frame of the cabinet. Do not use a block or
spacer to fill a gap between the anti-tip bracket and the
cabinet wall. Do not attempt to anchor into drywall.
Secure the bracket with two screws to the floor or to the
2.
base of the cabinet wall. Depending on the floor or cabi-
net material, use wood or anchorless concrete screws
(included). Concrete screws require the use of a 3/16"
masonry bit.
5.2 Removing the oven door
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions when removing the
oven door may lead to personal injury or product damage.
Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been
▶
turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or burns.
The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use
▶
both hands to remove the oven door.
The door front is glass. Handle it carefully to avoid
▶
breakage.
Grasp only the side of the oven door. Do not grasp the
▶
handle. It may swing in your hand and cause damage or
injury. Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly
could result in personal injury or product damage.
To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed, be
▶
sure both levers are securely in place before removing
the door.
Do not force the door open or closed. The hinge could
▶
be damaged and cause damage or injury.
Do not lay the removed door on sharp or pointed ob-
▶
jects as this could break the glass. Lay it on a flat,
smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall
over.
Open the oven door to its fully open position.
