Installing the anti-tip bracket is an important safety measure to prevent the range from tipping over. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to install the anti-tip bracket for the Whirlpool W11459498A Freestanding Range:
1. Locate the anti-tip bracket, which is usually taped inside the storage drawer or warming drawer of the range.
2. Determine whether you will be using the floor or wall mounting method for the bracket. If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile home, you must secure the range to the floor.
3. Determine the centerline of the cutout space and position the bracket against the wall in the cutout so that the V-notch of the bracket is 12-9/16 inches from the centerline.
4. Drill two 1/8-inch holes that correspond to the bracket holes of the determined mounting method.
5. Use the provided screws to mount the anti-tip bracket securely to the floor or wall.
6. Move the range close enough to the opening to allow for final electrical connections. Remove the shipping base, cardboard, or hardboard from under the range.
7. Move the range into its final location, making sure the rear leveling leg slides into the anti-tip bracket.
8. Move the range forward onto the shipping base, cardboard, or hardboard to continue installing the range.
9. Verify that the range is level by using a level on the oven bottom or a standard flat rack in the oven. Adjust the leveling legs if necessary.
10. Check that there is adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket. The range should be at the correct height before sliding it into its final location.
11. Once the range is in its final location, check that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
By following these steps, you can properly install the anti-tip bracket for your Whirlpool W11459498A Freestanding Range and ensure the safety of your household.
