Installation

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

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 front of the plinth.

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

Two rear wheels and two front feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height (900mm - 915mm) and level the cooker.

1.The rear wheels can be raised or lowered from the BACK of the cooker by adjusting the levelling screws ‘A’ in the plinth.

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

VIEWED FROM REAR

Siting the Cooker

The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 600mm 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 an angled corner setting. It can also be used freestanding. 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 than 650mm.

Note: This appliance must NOT be fitted on a platform.

Moving the Cooker

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.

The cooking systems in your Cooker

Your new cooker is equipped with three different cooking systems:

1. Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for raosting and baking on one shelf only.

2. Variable Grilling (Top Oven)

- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully controllable grill.

Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.

3. Fan Cooking (Main Oven)

- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved efficiancy and, in general, enables the user of lower temperatures for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch Baking).

These three systems of cooking are described more fully in the seperate Recipe Book and we suggest you read right through the introductory section of that book before using the oven.

Temperatures

The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan

 

ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking

 

time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to 20˚C.

 

Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven.

 

However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as

 

Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience with

 

the cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature

 

best suited for your recipe.

Condensation

Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may

 

drip through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are

 

present and may be a result of any of the following:

 

1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.

 

2. The moisture content of the food

 

eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.

 

3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.
