Mains Connection

Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the outer rear panel.

The model number and serial number are located on the front of the cooker, as shown on the Feature's page.

The cooker must be connected by a competent person such as one who is a, NICEIC registered contractor to a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 32A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm (applicable to newer properties, older properties where a 30A double pole control unit and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm is acceptable).

The double pole control unit should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE regulations. The control unit must be within 2 metres of but not directly above the appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.

The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2, minimum.

Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.

Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between cabinets.

Levelling

Four feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height (900mm - 930mm) and level the cooker.

The feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise the cooker.

After the correct height is achieved, lock the feet into position by tightening the locking nut using an open ended spanner.

CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is not moved carefully. NOTE: Ensure oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelves.

Control Knobs

The knobs for the hotplates can be rotated in either direction to provide variable heat control, the Main Oven knob can only be rotated clockwise from the Off position.

!: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF position, when the appliance is not in use.

The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after each of the heating areas have been switched on. Each warning light will remain illuminated until each heating area has cooled down.

Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.

Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

Operating the controls when the grill is in use

In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due to hot air being emitted from the grill compartment.
