Positioning the Cooker
GB/IE
Checking the parts
The diagrams below show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The hob should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface. Above hob level a gap of 75mm should be left between each side of the cooker and any adjacent vertical surface. Surfaces above hob level at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant e.g. tiles.
For
A minimum space of 650mm is required between the top of the hot and a horizontal combustible surface.

*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 910mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. If a flush fit is required, fit the cooker up to the unit at one side then fit the unit the other side.
Plan view
A clearance of 130mm each side is required to allow for oven door opening.
Unpacking the Cooker
Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is directly in front of the place it is to be installed (unless it will not fit through a door in its outer packaging).
Cut the banding straps and lift the cardboard box off the cooker, LEAVING THE COOKER STANDING ON THE BASE PACKAGING. See the loose unpacking sheet.
Moving the Cooker
The cooker is very heavy. Take great care.
We recommend two people manoeuvre the cooker. Ensure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. You will need the levelling tool.
LOWER THE TWO REAR ROLLERS.
First fit the levelling tool on the hexagonal adjusting nut as shown below.
