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

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.

A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side 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.
