Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams show the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
*door opening width - more is needed for handles, see below
Induction
The hotplate 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 800mm 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 910mm between units to
allow for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker
in; it must still be possible to move the cooker in and
out for cleaning and servicing.
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).
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).
Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS. There
are two adjusting nuts, one for each roller, at both the
front bottom corners of the cooker.
