INTRODUCTION

WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers on the back cover from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the grill door.

The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee.

INSTALLATION

If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.

Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for advice.

Once the packaging has been removed the cooker should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage may occur.

Connection to the electricity supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician/competent person.

The electrical connection should be made using a double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.

Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended cross-section area.

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below.

To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment.

This is a type X appliance which means it is free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.

Ensure that the cooker is standing level.

Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant non-combustible material and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob side.

A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is required to enable the cooker to be moved into position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.

Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
