I've got a freestanding stove in my kitchen that tends to slide forward whenever I open the oven door. It's positioned perfectly against the wall, making it flush with the countertops, but the strong magnet on the oven door pulls it out a couple of inches, even though there's already an anti-tip chain attached. I can't tighten it further because I can't reach the hooks when the stove is pushed in too much. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can keep my stove from moving forward?

Check if your stove has adjustable feet; extending these could help stabilize it. Plus, consider putting some grippy pads under the feet to prevent slipping. It's worth checking the manual for any extra mounting options, just in case!
Using anti-slip pads under the stove legs is a great idea! Just grab about four rubber pads, and it’s a cheap fix. This way, you won't have to worry about the stove sliding every time you open the oven door.
You might want to try wedging some rubber door stoppers or furniture pads under the front legs. It's an easy fix that lets you still move the stove out when needed, and should help with the sliding issue.
I looked at the manual and couldn't find anything about mounting options. It just seems like a pretty basic install.
