New kitchen range: anyone install the anti-tip brackets?

It is possible to complete your own project.Fix it and build it yourself.There are home project instructions.

It is time for me to put on my tool belt and share with you an important safety device.We had an oven fire in September.The new oven we replaced came with an anti-tip device.All new free-standing and slide-in ovens should have one.The anti-tip device won't be installed in most stores that deliver your stove.

With very little weight on the open oven door, the whole oven can tip very easily.Go open your oven door now and stop reading.Press down to see if you can tip the oven.

If you tip it, the manufacturer of your oven will send you a device for free or just a shipping charge.Contact the manufacturer to find an anti-tip device for your stove.

Installation is very easy.Cleaning all the goodies that have fallen beneath the stove is the hardest part.Our stove is a matchbox car garage.

If you notice in the picture above, there is a metal box lying on the floor with wires in it.The stove's wiring is hardwired into the junction box.The junction box is not fastened to the floor.If we had pulled hard enough when removing the stove, the connections could have come loose and there would be life-ending power exposed.Before we installed our new stove, we hired an electrician to wire an outlet into the wall.

If your oven catches on fire, you need to stop the oven from getting any power.It's a good idea to turn off the circuit breaker.I thought turning the oven off would stop the element from burning, but it didn't, so I had to call the fire department.

Shut off the power to the appliance if your oven is hardwired.If you have an outlet, turn off the power to it.You have to clean the floor after removing foreign objects from under the stove.The template should be lined up in the corner of the sheet between the cabinet and the wall.

To mark the location of the screws, drill through the crosshairs and use a drill bit slightly smaller than your screws.

If you're having trouble lining up your stove with the brackets, you might want to look underneath your oven.The feet on your oven might need to be adjusted to give you enough clearance for the whole foot to slide into the brackets.You can do this by messing with the feet.To level the oven, adjust the foot on the opposite side.As long as you don't encounter electrical code violations, this installation is relatively easy.I will try to assist you if you email me with any questions.I have an extra anti-tip device for the GE stove.

I have been trying to install my device for over an hour.My screws are not going in with a power drill on the concrete floor.The wall seems to be very hard to try.What can I do?We have to get this done for the buyers of my house.

You need a masonry drill bit.The hole is slightly smaller than the screws.Put your screws in the floor.The screws won't come out when you add a little epoxy to the hole.

The site is cool.I came here to see if I could find out what the difference is between the two brackets that Home Depot sells.It's obvious how far the stove foot slides into the bracket, width of the slot, and height.I have a few rental places with different ranges that need these, it is a good idea, I never thought of it before, a mom and 3-year old girl lived in one.If they work, I would like to get a few of the same kind at a low cost.The deepest slot of the Whirlpool should work for both.Someone gave a stove model number and was recommended to get a WB2K12 which is an odd piece, but I don't understand how it works.

In your photos, the brackets are shown on one side and the templates on the other side, with the final view underneath showing the right.Is there a problem if you had to move from the left to the right?

The photos were taken out of order because we had two anti-tip brackets.Sorry for the confusion.
