•
Pipe joint sealant that resists action of LP/Propane gas
•
A new flexible metal appliance conduit (1/2" NPT x 3/4"
or 1/2" I.D.) must be design certified by CSA International.
Because solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using a new flexible conduit (4 to 5 foot
length) for each new installation and additional
reinstallations.
•
Always use the (2) new flare union adapters (1/2" NPT x
3/4" or 1/2" I.D.) supplied with the new flexible appliance
conduit for connection of the range.
Normal Installation Steps
1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and
screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-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.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall,
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.
A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template - (Bracket may
be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use
the information below to locate the bracket if template is
not available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right side
of the range will be located. If rear of range is against the
wall or no further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you
may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is
installed and does not allow the bracket to fit flush against
the wall, remove molding or mount bracket to the floor. For
wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge
of the template against the rear wall and the side edge of
template on the mark made referencing the side of the
range. Place bracket on top of template and mark location
of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than
1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the
floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back
edge of the template where the rear of the range will be
located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in
template.
B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be
mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20°
downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry
or ceramic floors, drill a 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.
