[McHope]

Installing the anti-tip bracket for your Whirlpool W11169656B freestanding electric range is crucial for safety. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Locate the Bracket: Find the anti-tip bracket in the literature bag, often located inside the oven compartment.
2. Determine Mounting Location: Decide whether to mount the bracket on the floor or the wall. This depends on your kitchen layout.
3. Position the Bracket: Place the bracket in its final position. Edge A should sit flush against the rear wall, and Edge B should touch the adjacent cabinet or range side.
4. Mark the Holes: Use a marker to indicate where to drill holes for the bracket.
5. Secure the Bracket: Attach the anti-tip bracket using the appropriate mounting method (floor or wall mount).
   • Floor Mount: Drill pilot holes in the floor, insert plastic anchors (if needed), and secure the bracket with screws.
6. Adjust Range Levelers: Adjust the rear leg levelers of the range to allow the rear leg to slide under the anti-tip bracket.
7. Slide Range into Position: After completing gas and electrical connections, carefully slide the range into its final spot.
8. Final Check: Ensure the anti-tip bracket is firmly attached and that the range's rear foot is engaged in the bracket's slot.

Following these steps ensures the anti-tip bracket is correctly installed, enhancing the safety of your kitchen and preventing potential tipping hazards with your Whirlpool range.
