Installing your cooker
Unpacking
After unpacking your cooker, make sure that you remove all the
packing from the oven and grill, and any stickers from the oven
door and the hob.
Examine your cooker for any damage, particularly the hob glass.
Make sure there are no chips or cracks.
If there is any damage or there is anything missing, please contact your
supplier for advice. If the hob is cracked the cooker must not be connected
to the supply, and no part of it may be used.
Siting/Moving Your cooker is heavy, so be careful when moving or

positioning it. Do not try to move the cooker by pulling on the
doors or handles. The Belling Forum is designed to fit between
600mm deep cabinets, spaced a minimum of 500mm apart. It can
also be used freestanding, with a cabinet to one side, in an angled
corner setting or with its back to a wall.
The cooker is a type X appliance, as such, adjacent side walls
which project above hob level must not be nearer to the cooker
than 150mm (6"). Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should
be at least 650mm (25 1/2 ") above the cooker hob. We do not
recommend positioning the cooker below wall cupboards, as the
heat and steam from the cooker may cause damage to the cupboard
and its contents.
Whatever the position, remember to leave enough room for the
cooker to be pulled out for cleaning and service.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the
front as follows. Open the Top Oven/Grill door sufficiently to allow a
comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof,
avoiding any grill elements or oven interior furniture. Also take care
not to damage floor coverings.
To avoid damage to surrounding units a 10mm gap should be
left between the appliance and the units. If this is not possible,
a kit (part number 01 25552 00) may be ordered from Customer
Care which will protect the units.
For models with side opening doors, we recommend a side
clearance of 60mm between the cooker and any side wall to allow
the door to be opened fully.
Levelling
The appliance should be located on a level surface. The two front feet can
be adjusted to a maximum height of 910mm as required. To ensure that
your appliance is standing level adjust the two front feet by turning
clockwise or anticlockwise until the product is in firm contact with the floor.
