❍ In case of a defect, switch off at the mains.
❍ Do not clean the oven with steam or high pressure cleaners.
❍ Ensure that the power cord does not get caught in the hot

Transit supports are left in situe. Each leg is
pushed firmly over a transit support.

Height adjustment of legs

Each leg is adjusted by screwing the lower
section in or out as required for fitting to a
900mm standard bench height. For lower

bench tops adjust height as

for the leg is 150 - 185mm.
With the legs adjusted to a
height of 180mm the cooker
hob is located 10mm above the
horizontal cumbustible surface,
