Installation

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

MAINS CONNECTION
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your
supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the rear panel.  
The cooker must be connected by a competent person such as a NICEIC registered  
contractor to a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 32A (30A 
double-pole  control  switch  installations  found  in  older  properties  are  acceptable)  and  a
minimum  contact  clearance  of  3mm,  which  should  be  fitted adjacent  to  the  cooker,  in
accordance  with  IEE  regulations.  The  control  unit  must  be  within  2  metres  of  but  not
directly above the appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm

,  

minimum.
Access  to  the  mains  terminals is  gained  by  removing  the  rear  access  cover.  The  mains
cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable
should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel
and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between 
cabinets.

COOKER HEIGHT
Your cooker must stand on a flat surface so that the hob is perfectly level, and the cooker
is stable and cannot be rocked.  
Note:

If  the  cooker  is  to  be  placed  on  a  base,  precautions  must  be  taken  to  prevent  it

from slipping off the base.

SITING THE COOKER
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 an angled corner setting. It can also
be  used    freestanding.    Adjacent  side  walls  which  project  above  hob  level,  must  not  be
nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat resistant material. Any
overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm.
The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900 -
915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the cooker into
position.

MOVING THE COOKER
Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker control unit, ensure that it is cool.
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.

RADIO INTERFERENCE
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and television  
interference.
