Installation

The appliance must only be installed by a competent person. In the UK, Gas Safe registered installers undertake
to work to safe and satisfactory standards.

Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit. Movement of your cooker is
most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows:
Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any
grill elements.

Note: 

Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

(FIG. C)
Splashplate optional, apply to Parts Department (see Back Cover for contact number.)

The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm - 930mm). Adjust the feet by
tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the product into position.

NOTE: This appliance must not be fitted on a platform.

The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either side need only be sufficient
to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in a corner setting.
It can also be used free-standing.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm or 65mm (Fig. A) and should
be protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 750mm. (Fig.A)
