Introduction
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable
if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this
booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for
use in any other installation.

When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an
extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due
to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the
insulation.

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 6mm2minimum.
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding
suppression of radio and television interference.
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the

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.
