WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.
Your appliance 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 appliance should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance 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 in all poles. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross- sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.
The recommended
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by an ‘X’ in the diagram below.
To move the appliance, open the main oven door, and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the oven 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.
Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant
A nominal air gap of 2mm at the sides of the appliance is required to enable the appliance 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.
Air gap
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
