Instructions for the Installer

2. INST ALLING THE OVEN

The oven is designed for free-standing installation on a horizontal worktop. It must be far enough from the wall behind it to allow easy access to the terminal board for connection of the power supply lead. Installation must be carried out by a qualified engineer in compliance with the relevant EEC DIRECTIVES.

2.1 Electrical connection

Check that the power supply voltage and size are as specified on the nameplate on the back of the oven. This nameplate must never be removed. The oven is fitted with a H07RN-F three-core cable for operation at 230V∼ and power supply plug.

The power supply lead supplied is of 3 x 1.5 mm2 three-core H07RN-F type. The power supply lead must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service centre to prevent all risks.

The power supply plug and wall socket must be of the same type (in compliance with CEI standards). Check that the power supply line is properly earthed. The use of reductions, adapters or junctions is not recommended.

2.1.1 Safety thermostat

The oven is fitted with a safety device tripped in case of a serious malfunction. To reset the safety device, call the after-sales service.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance.

Instructions for the Installer

2.2 Levelling

Level the oven by means of its four adjustable feet. To make the adjustment, undo the lock-nut and unscrew the foot. The adjuster screw travel is 10 mm.

2.3 Connection to the water supply

Connect the water inlet connection on the rear to a water supply outlet having ¾ gas threaded connection, taking care to screw tightly to the hose. If the water supply pipe is new or has been unused for a long time, before making the connection turn the water on and allow it to flow out to ensure that it is clear and free from impurities. Otherwise, the water inlet may become fouled, damaging the oven.

The oven must be supplied with water at a pressure between min. 50 kPa and max. 500 kPa.

2.4 Steam vent pipe

The rear of the oven is fitted with a pipe which vents the steam produced during cooking. This pipe must be left free of all obstructions. Take care not to crush it.
