Installation Instructions
2.Oven Unit Housing Cabinets
(a)The oven unit housing cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
(b)An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom cupboards or shelves for ventilation.
(c)Do not obstruct the ventilation slots provided on the oven trim. This is found adjacent to the bottom of the oven door.
(d)The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the cabinet. If cabinets extend up to the ceiling, the warm air must be exhausted through to the front. Fig. 1.
(e)If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven when the door is opened could condense on, and perhaps stain the adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.
Important
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e. having side, back and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could permit access to the oven unit when installed.
3. Electrical Installation
Mains Supply
A 20 amp Double Pole control switch with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm must be fitted on or recessed in the wall adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and should be accessible after installation. If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit this may be positioned behind the oven providing:–
i.The top of the connector unit is not more than 30cm above the base of the oven recess – see Fig. 4.
ii.The depth of the connector unit does not reduce the depth of the oven recess to less than 55cm.
We recommend that 4mm2 twin and earth PVC insulated cable is used to connect the cooker to the control unit. This power supply cable must conform to BS 6004.
Alternatively the mains supply can be taken from a household 13 amp switched fused spur having a minimum contact clearance of 3mm, which must be fitted adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and accessible after installation. The oven must be fitted with a 3 core cable having a minimum cross sectional area of 1.5mm2 and must conform to BS6500.
The oven must not be connected using a 3 pin 13 amp plug.
