Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams below show the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
The hot surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface. Above hotplate level a gap of 75mm
should be left between each side of the cooker and any
adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.
A minimum space of 650mm is required between the top of
the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with
the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of
the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant.
Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are
particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by
normal use of the cooker to any material that de-laminates
or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room
temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 1110mm between units to allow
for moving the cooker. If a flush fit is required, fit the cooker
up to the unit at one side then fit the unit the other side.
Do not box the cooker in; it must still be possible to move
the cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing. The cooker
should not be placed on a base.
A clearance of 130mm is required if the cooker is near a
corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors to open.
Unpacking the Cooker
Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is directly
in front of the place it is to be installed (unless it will not fit
through a door in its outer packaging).
Cut the banding straps and lift the cardboard box off the
cooker, leaving the cooker standing on the base packaging.
See the loose unpacking sheet.
Moving the Cooker
The cooker is very heavy. Take great care.
We recommend two people manoeuvre the cooker. Ensure
that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed to prevent
it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. You will
need the levelling tool.
From the back tilt the cooker forward and remove the rear
half of the polystyrene base pack.
Repeat from the front and remove the front half of the poly
base.
LOWER THE TWO REAR ROLLERS.
First fit the levelling tool on the hexagonal adjusting nut as
shown below.
Make 10 complete (360º) turns clockwise. (This means
turning and removing the levelling tool 20 times).
