STOVE TIP BRACKET

Michael Holigan: Here's a quick safety tip for anyone who has a stove and oven combination unit.

Al Carrell: I want you to go over right now, grab the stove back here like so, and lean it forward. If it does lean forward, you've got a hazard in your house.

M.H.: When the unit was install, they should have installed a stove tip bracket to prevent that from happening. That way, if the door was ever open and a child put their weight on it, it wouldn't tip over the unit and possibly burn them from any liquids on top.

A.C.: It's a real easy thing to install, and we'll show you how.

M.H.: Follow the instructions that come with your stove or the bracket itself to determine the right place of it at the bottom of the wall behind the stove. Then simply secure it with screws and you're ready to move the unit back in place.

A.C.: That's got it.

M.H.: Yeah, will not tip now. Now be cautious if you have a gas stove. Don't just start tipping it or pulling it out, because you may disconnect the gas line, and that could start a fire.

A.C.: Now if you don't have a tip bracket, you ought to call the manufacturer. They should send you one. It should of had one with the unit. If you have to pay a couple of bucks for it, it's really worth it though.
