The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth
(900mm - 915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the
product into position.
NOTE: This appliance must not be fitted on a platform.
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.
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.
Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker
control unit.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows:
Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front
edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.
Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy.
Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

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.
The main oven has a ‘S’ setting specially designed to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can
be found in the Slow cooking section of this book.
To use the timer, the buzzer must be wound up by turning the knob one full turn clo ckwise; then
turn it back to the desired time so that the number of minutes on the knob matches the reference
mark on the panel.
