INSTALLATION

Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the hotplate to any material that de- laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.

For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the hotplate.

NOTE When the Freestyle ovens are situated under the hob, additional brackets should be fixed to the rear wall to support the rear edge of the worktop. Two right-angle brackets are supplied for this purpose. Alternatively, a wooden baton could be fixed to the wall under the rear edge.

The front edge will be supported by the ovens once they are in place. It is important that the hob is placed directly above the ovens to ensure this. See diagram.
