Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).

· Do not alter the electrical circuitry of this appliance.

THINGS TO NOTE

· This appliance is designed to be fitted in cabinets of the recommended dimensions as shown (Fig.2).

· If your cabinet interior dimension is between 565- 570mm the oven may still be fitted. However, a minor modification to the cabinet will be required to reduce the aperture size down to 560-565 mm, to allow the product to be securely screwed into the cabinet.

· The dimensions given provide adequate air circulation around the unit within the cabinet, ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.

· Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker point, if required, should be made to your Regional Electricity Company to ensure compliance with their regulations.

· The cooker socket switch should be outside the cabinet but within 2m of the appliance to make it accessible to switch off the appliance in case of an emergency.

· To protect the hands, wear gloves when lifting the oven into its housing.

NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT

Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried out before the appliance is connected to the mains supply and re-checked after fitting.

a) By connecting to a cooker point (having a double

pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral) and protected with a fuse or miniature circuit breaker at your mains fuse box.

Subject to Regional Electricity Companies regulations if you wish to connect the oven and hob to the power supply you may use one of the following two methods:-

b) By connecting the appliance together with a hob

directly to a cooker point(s). Having a double pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral.

c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a

cooker point you can by connecting the oven and hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and hob units should be separately connected to a cooker point. See Fig. 1.
