THINGS TO NOTE
· This appliance is designed to be fitted in
cabinets of the recommended dimensions as
shown (Fig. 2).
· If your cabinet interior dimension is between
565-570mm the oven may still be fitted.
However a minor modification to the cabinet
will be required to reduce the aperture size
down to 560-565mm. To allow the product to
be securely screwed into the cabinet.
· The dimensions given provide adequate air
circulation around the unit within the cabinet,
ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.

GETTING THINGS READY

CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
· There are three possible ways to connect your
appliance. In each case the appliance should
be operated using at least 6mm2 twin core and
earth PVC insulated multicore cable. Please
choose from the most appropriate after reading
the different methods:-
a) By connecting the appliance to a cooker point
(having a double pole isolating switch with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles and
neutral) and protected with a fuse or miniature
circuit breaker at your mains fuse box.
b) By connecting the appliance together with a
hob directly to a cooker point(s). Having a
double pole isolating switch with at least 3mm
contact separation in all poles and neutral.
c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a
cooker point you can by connecting the oven
and hob separately to the cooker point. Oven
and hob units should be separately connected
to a cooker point. See Fig. 1.
NOTE: It is good practice to :
· Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your
house wiring.
· Wire your appliance to the latest IEE
regulations.
PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF OVEN
· Make sure that the cabinet is the correct size
for the appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 2).
· If the cabinet is between 565-570mm, then the
cabinet should be modified so that at the screw
fixing points the recommended dimension of at
least 560-565mm is maintained. The
modification should ideally be localised to
ensure that after screw fitment the oven is
securely fixed into position.
· The cabinet must be stable and level securing
it to the wall or floor. If necessary, make
arrangements to ensure the shelf upon which
the oven will rest is level.
· When the appliance is installed ensure a
minimum gap of 2mm is maintained between
the trim on the bottom edge of the appliance,
and any corresponding door / panel.
