Stillhope,
Have you ever seen those plastic band-aid dispensers that companies give away as promotional items? The plastic box is just slightly bigger than the band-aids, and to dispense a band-aid,you slide it out with your thumb. Well the bracket looks kind of like that dispenser - at least mine does. It's a slim metal box-like gizmo with an open end and a slot down the top. The bracket is screwed into the floor. The feet of the stove slide into the opening and are held in place by the top of the bracket, preventig the stove from tipping. If the stove is properly slid into place, you wouldn't see the bracket. But if you missed the bracket when you slid the stove in place, or if the stove legs weren't unscrewed enough to allow them to slide into the bracket, it might prevent the stove from going all the way back to the wall.
