Range tipping is a serious issue. While Thermador has never had a reported injury or death from a range tipping incident, over the past few decades there have been incidents of death and severe injuries caused by ranges being tipped over onto persons (most often, children). A tipped range can cause crushing injuries or death from the weight of the range, and/or cause scalding liquids and other items from atop the range to fall onto victims. While the number of reported cases is extremely small statistically compared to the millions of ranges in the field, this matter must still be taken seriously.
If you purchased your product after 1991, brackets were included, along with installation instructions and warnings on the need for brackets. Whomever originally installed your cooking range should have installed safety brackets to prevent your range from tipping over, in accordance with the product's accompanying installation instructions. Thermador has always complied with the industry standards on this matter.
Thank you for carefully reading this critical information and for taking an active interest in your safety and the safety of others who may be in your home!
