Installing the appliance under a worktop

Installation Instructions

i)When installed in a typical 600mm deep built in housing unit, the false back should be removed from the housing unit to provide the necessary depth for installation.

ii)When the false back is removed, it is normally the case that the support shelf for the appliance leaves a gap between the back edge and the wall of approximately 80mm.

Important: Do not modify the outer panels of this appliance in any way.

Ensure that you route all mains electrical cables and flexible tubing well clear of any adjacent heat source, such as an oven, grill or hob.

Ensure that all pipe work is of the correct rating for both size and temperature.

iii)If no gap occurs between the back edge of the shelf and the wall behind the unit, we recommend that a gap of at least 30mm is made by shortening the shelf.

iv)When installing the appliance below a worktop, there must be a minimum ventilation area of 60cm2 below the appliance, in either area (1) or (2), as indicated below. There must be a 5mm gap between the front top edge of the oven and the underside of the worktop.
