Installation

Work on the cooker must be carried out by a 

QUALIFIED

  

ELECTRICIAN

. The cooker is heavy. 

Certain edges and corners which will not nor-
mally be exposed may be sharp. 

USE

 

GLOVES

 when 

moving the cooker. 

Before installing the cooker, you should check that its 
dimensions correspond to the rest of your kitchen units. 
Measure the height of the worktop from floor to top sur-
face of the worktop, and the plinth depth from the wall 
to the front edge of the plinth 

(

SEE

 

PICTURE

)

. The cooker 

may also be installed adjoining one wall, or one tall unit.

When delivered, the cooker plinth is adjusted to 

suit a worktop height of 90 cm and a plinth depth of 55 
cm. Where necessary, you can alter the height of the 
plinth to make the cooker suitable for a worktop height 
of  85 or 88 cm (see below). Check the cooker cable is 
not trapped when moving the cooker.

To adjust the plinth height

1

Carefully lay the cooker on its front

 (

SEE

 

PICTURE

)

Use some of the packaging material to cushion 
the cooker on the floor surface.

2

Take care: there are sharp edges on the under-
side of the cooker. Unscrew screw A (1 screw) 
in the centre rear of the plinth and the side 
screws B (4 screws, 

 

SEE

 

PICTURE

)

.

3

Push the plinth in to the required height setting, 
90, 88 or 85 cm

 (

)

.

4

Screw in screws A and B again.

Levelling the cooker

The cooker must be level, for example to ensure that 
oil in frying pans is of even depth. To check whether 
the cooker is level, place a spirit level or a frying pan 
filled with water on the hob.

If necessary, you can lower (-6 mm) or raise (+12 

mm) the wheels and feet, working from the front of the 
cooker. Use a screwdriver to adjust the rear wheels, 
and adjustable pliers for the front feet.
