THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Your cooker should have been checked to ensure
the voltage corresponds with your supply volt
stated on the rating plate, which is situated
of the plinth. The cooker must be connected by a
competent person e.g. (NICEIC registered contractor)
to suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum
rating of 30A and a minimum contact clearance of
3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in
accordance with IEE regulations. The control unit but
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 6mm

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.

This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding

Note

The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen
cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either side
need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker
for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or
both as well as in a corner setting. It can also be used
free-standing.

This cooker is a class X appliance, as such adjacent
side walls which project above hob level, must not be
nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be
protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging
surface or cooker hood should not be nearer 650mm.

Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker
control unit, ensure that it is cool.

Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable
grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof,
avoiding any grill elements.

Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take
care to ensure that any floor covering is not
damaged.
