Installing the anti-tip bracket is an important safety measure to prevent the range from tipping over, which can cause serious injury or death. Here are the step-by-step instructions to install the anti-tip bracket for the Maytag WFE515S0JS range:
1. Remove the anti-tip bracket from where it is taped inside the storage drawer or warming drawer.
2. Determine whether you will be using the floor or wall mounting method. 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 and mark the centerline of the cutout space. The mounting can be installed on either the left-side or right-side of the cutout. Position the mounting bracket against the wall in the cutout so that the V-notch of the bracket is 12 9/16" from the centerline.
4. Drill two 1/8" holes that correspond to the bracket holes of the determined mounting method.
5. Using a Phillips screwdriver, mount the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor with the two #12 x 1 5/8" screws provided.
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 using a level placed on the oven bottom or a standard flat rack in the oven.
10. Adjust the leveling legs using a wrench or pliers until the range is level.
11. Push the range back into its final position and check that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the anti-tip bracket is properly installed and your range is secure. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.
