INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
Positioning the Oven
The oven can be installed at high level in a tall kitchen unit
and depending on the type of installation it is designed to fit
into a standard 600 mm wide cabinet housing (Fig. 10.1) .
The housing should not be free standing but be secured to
the wall and/or adjacent fittings.
To ensure the trim is not damaged due to the appliance
being placed on the floor. The appliance should be suitably
supported as in the illustrations (Fig. 10.2) .
To avoid damage to the lower trim please follow the
instructions. The lower trim is designed to allow for good air
circulation and the correct opening of the oven door.
Ensure that air can flow freely around the housing area. If the
oven is being installed into a fully enclosed built-under oven
housing unit it may be necessary to cut a small slot in the top
of the plinth fitted under the unit. Cut a section 400 mm wide
and a minimum of 10 mm high to allow air to pass under the
unit. Alternatively cut a section 400 x450 mm in the base of
the carcass Fig. 10.3 and Fig. 10.4 .
Surfaces of furniture and walls adjacent to the appliance
should be heat, splash and steam resistant. All cabinet doors
must be at least 4 mm from the oven at all points.
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 appliance to any material that de-laminates
or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room
temperature.
When placing the oven in the housing, do not use the oven
door or handle as a lever for lifting the oven as damage may
result.
If you lower the oven door, you will see 6 screw holes, 3 on
each side of the oven. The oven should then be secured to
the housing by fitting screws into these holes Fig. 10.5 .
After installation the appliance door should be slowly opened
to ensure no damage has ocurred.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage if these
instructions have not been followed.
Provision for Ventilation
Failure to allow adequate ventilation to the appliance may
result in overheating or damage to adjacent units and could
invalidate the guarantee.
The appliance housing used must provide adequate
ventilation. To allow for sufficient ventilation space a
minimum of 560 mm of depth is required.
If a tall housing is to be installed flush with the ceiling, a 20
cm² ventilation cut-out must be provided at the top of the
housing.
