2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Electrical connection

Check that the mains voltage and power cable ratings are as per the
information provided on the label attached to the oven door frame.
This label must never be removed.

It is obligatory for the electrical system to be earthed according to the
methods required by safety rules.

If a plug and socket connection is being used make sure that the plug
and socket are compatible. Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these
could cause overheating and risk of burns.

If a fixed connection is being used fit cable line with an omnipolar circuit
breaker with a contact opening gap equal to or greater than 3 mm in an
easily accessible position in proximity to the oven.

For operation on 220-240V ∼: use an
H05RR-F / H05RN-F type three-core cable
(3 x 1.5 mm2).

The cable end to be connected to the
appliance must be provided with an ground
wire (yellow-green) at least 20 mm longer.

2.1.1 Ovens with hob controls

In the ovens with hob controls the power cable is not supplied. Use a
H05RR-F or H05RN-F rubber-sheathed cable making sure that it does
not come into contact with any external metal parts of the oven when
routing.

Remove rear cover by loosening relevant screws to gain access to the
terminal strip. If necessary change jumper configuration as shown in the
diagram and then connect wires making sure that the earth wire is at
least 20 mm longer than the others. Secure power cable to oven by
means of an appropriate fitting.

30

Instructions for the installer

For operation on 220-240V ∼: use an
H05RR-F / H05RN-F type three-core cable
(3 x 4 mm2).

For operation on 380-415V2N∼: use an
H05RR-F / H05RN-F type four-core cable
(4 x 2.5 mm2).

For operation on 380-415V3N∼: use an
H05RRF / H05RN-F type five-core cable
(5 x 1.5 mm2).

The cable end to be connected to the
appliance must be provided with an earth
wire (yellow-green) at least 20 mm longer.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons
or things caused by non-observance of the above guidelines or by
interference with any part of the appliance.

Instructions for the installer

2.2 Installing the oven

The oven is designed for installation into any piece of furniture as long as
it is heat-resistant. Proceed according to the dimensions shown in Figures
1, 2 and 3. For installing under a work top, follow the dimensions given in
Figure 3. For installing under a work top beneath a hob with controls
connected to the oven, ensure a minimum clearance from any side walls
of at least 110 mm as shown in Figure 1.
For installing in a column, follow the dimensions given in Figure 2 allowing for a
clearance of 80 to 90 mm at the top and sides of the column. Tighten the four
screws (ref.A) inside the frame to secure (Fig. 1).
For installing beneath a separate hob, allow for a rear and bottom
clearance as shown in Figure 1 (ref. B). See relevant instructions for fitting
and securing the hob.

32

Instructions for the installer

Never use the oven door to lever the oven into
place when fitting.
Avoid exerting too much pressure on the oven door
when open.

2.3 Connecting the hob to the oven

Once installed, the hob must be connected to the oven. Install the oven
allowing enough room for the following operations to take place.

• Connect the earth wire (yellow-green) of the hob to the earth terminal
A of the oven (see figure).

• Fit the hob connectors into the appropriate sockets in the top cover
of the oven. Make sure that the colours and symbols of the
connectors match those of the oven sockets.

• If the hob is equipped with a connector for the residual heat indicator,
this must be fitted into the free socket on the right handside.

The oven can now be fully mounted into the cabinet; make sure that the
power cable is properly routed and does not come into contact with parts
which may become hot during operation.
