Installation

Electrical Requirements

GB For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

Electrical Connections

The installer must check that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds with the house electricity supply. The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position adjacent to the cooker. If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the cooker providing the following requirements are met:

i)The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.

ii)The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.

Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided. Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing. Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover. Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit. This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and Television reception interference.

A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used to feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable. Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.

We recommend a minimum of 4mm2 PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.

In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 4).

This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat such as a plinth heater.

Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable.

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.

1. General

The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which must be secured to the backing wall.

2. Ventilation

a.The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.

b.An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).

c.It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation, i.e. from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing a slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.

d.The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet space. Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling height, it is essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the cabinet (see 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 maybe 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.

3. Final Installation

a.Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and from front to back in its installed position.

b.Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet. Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.

c.Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for stability.

d.The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet and pushed fully home.

e.Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Phillips C/SK Head screws - two through each side trim.

f.Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.

List of loose items:

4 x Phillips C/SK Head No. 6 x 25mm screws.
