Anti Tip Bracket

Anti Tip Bracket

Sharon D from FL

I purchased a new stove (scratch & ding) that lacked the anti-tip bracket.

A tape measure, a drill to pre-drill pilot holes and to tighten the Phillips head anchor screws. Also, a crescent wrench to adjust the leveling feet and a torpedo level.

Very important: Install the anti-tip bracket!!! Read the instructions in your installation manual or Google articles and/or YouTube videos on proper installation. My instructions said to position the edge of the bracket 2.5" away from a cabinet, which we did. Other instructions say to find the middle of the opening, then measure a number of inches to either the right or left of the center mark. The anti-tip bracket should be centered on that mark. Because the gas pipe was 2.5" away from the wall, it was impossible to flush mount the stove. Oh well. Fortunately, the anti-tip bracket I ordered from PartsDr.com had a long side and a short side. We ended up having to put the short side against the wall and the long side on the floor. We choose to position the anti-tip bracket on the left side. After the bracket was measured off and screw holes marked, pilot holes for the 2 screws were drilled. Then the bracket was installed using 2.75" screws and a Phillips head bit. Using a crescent wrench, the back leveling feet were lowered just enough to slide easily into the bracket. Then the stove was leveled front-to-back and side-to-side using a torpedo level. Ideally, the oven rack will determine how level the stove is, but sometimes the top burners do not agree, so we split the small difference. The electric cord was plugged in, the gas valve was turned on, and the stove slid into position, making sure that the one rear leg was engaged in the anti-tip bracket. That was done by bracing a foot at the (left) front edge of the stove, and pulling the (left) back of the stove to tip it forward. If it tips, the leveling foot did not slide into the bracket properly, or at all. Try again, positioning the leveling foot into the bracket until the stove will not tip.

Needed anti tip for a use and occupancy.

Screwdriver.

Pulled out oven attached bracken to wall base and slid oven back measure from leg to bracket to make sure it slides into the bracket.

Inspection by city, new enforcement of old code. Stoves must be anti-tipping
