What's Wrong with this Picture: Range Anti-Tip Device
ANSWER: Range does not have properly installed anti-tip device.
Funny thing about anti-tipping devices, simply having one doesn't quite do the trick. In this photo taken during a home inspection by U.S. Inspect North Carolina Inspector, Paul Tooley, you can see the homeowner's anti-tipping device safety stowed in the oven drawer. This occurrence is, unfortunately, extremely common and our inspectors see it all the time. The good news is it's extremely easy to remedy.
What is an anti-tipping device? Well, it's just what it sounds like. The device, when installed properly, keeps the range from tipping forward and spilling hot items if, for example, a toddler were to sit on the open oven door. Check your oven today (and your oven drawer). If you have a device that is not installed, install it. If you don't have one, request it from the manufacturer.
