provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to
people and animals or may damage property.

Built-in appliance

Use the appropriate cabinet to ensure that the
appliance functions properly.

 The panels adjacent to the oven must be made of

heat-resistant material.

Ventilation

To ensure adequate ventilation is provided, the back
panel of the cabinet must be removed. It is
advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two
strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface with
an opening of at least 45 x 560 mm (see diagrams).

Centring and fixing

Position the 4 tabs on the side of the oven, in line
with the 4 holes on the outer frame. Adjust the tabs
according to the thickness of the cabinet side panel,
as shown below:

20 mm thick: take off the
removable part of the tab
(see diagram).

 Cabinets with a veneer exterior must be

assembled with glues which can withstand
temperatures of up to 100°C.
