In order to prevent the oven from tipping
forward as shown on the previous page,
we need to make sure both chains
provided with the oven are used.
On the left side of the oven a 16mm
drill bit was used to drill through the
cabinetry into the adjacent cabinet,
as you can see the hole has not been
drilled hard up against the wall because
there is a 16 mm board at the rear of
the cabinet. The heigt of the hole from
the floor is level with where the chain
attaches to the oven.
The right side has been drilled much the
same, a new hole has been drilled below
the gas and power supply hole
Once the holes have been drilled the chains can be fed trough and the
upright can be fitted into position.
The chains then need to be pulled as tight as possible from inside
the cabinet using a self drilling wood screw. It is better to have the
screw fixed closer to the hole for better support. The left and right
side examples shown have two extra screws attached to the chain
which makes the installation neater by keeping the chain off the shelf
away from the gas and electricity supply, they will also provide added
support.
At this point the oven will be secured in location and will not move
forward at all, it is recommended that all upright oven chains be fitted in
this way.
Installation forms part of the installer compliance and that in line with
AGA regulations chains are designed to be installed to prevent cooker
from tilting. They are not designed to replace parental supervision when
the cooker is in use.
