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 surface of the worktop, and the plinth depth from 
the wall to the front edge of the plinth (see illustra-
tion). The cooker may also be installed adjoining one 
wall or one tall unit on one side, and a worktop on the 
other side.

When delivered, the cooker plinth is adjusted to suit a 

worktop height of 90 cm and a plinth depth of 53 cm. 
You can alter the height and depth of the plinth to make 
the cooker suitable for a worktop height of 85, 88 or 90 
cm and a plinth depth of 55 cm (see below). 

Check the cooker cable is not trapped when moving 

the cooker.

To adjust plinth height and depth

53 cm is the minimum plinth depth for this 
cooker. Setting a smaller plinth depth can cause 
the cooker to tip if a heavy weight is placed on 
the door.

If you wish to alter both dimensions, you should adjust 
both at the same time. But make sure you read through 
the full instructions before starting work.

1

Carefully lay the cooker on its back 

(

SEE

 

ILLU

-

STRATION

)

. Use some of the packaging material to 

cushion the cooker on the floor surface.

2

Unscrew the four screws 

(A)

, see the illustration. 

If you are altering the cooker height only, pull 
the inner plinth out a certain distance. Grasp the 
brackets which hold the wheels and feet. 

NOTE

!

 Be careful, there are sharp edges under the 

cooker. Go to point 5 and continue from there. If 
altering the plinth depth, you should pull the 
plinth completely out.

3

Unscrew the four screws 

(B)

, see the illustration. 

Then remove the outer plinth.

4

Position the outer plinth at the 55 cm setting
