INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
WARNINGS:
l
This cooker must be installed by a qualified
electrician/competent person. Safety may be
impaired if installation is not carried out in
accordance with these instructions.
l
This cooker must be earthed.
l
Do not remove the screws from the earth tab
extending from the oven mains terminal block
(Fig. 6).
l
Before connecting the cooker make sure that the
voltage of your electricity supply is the same as
that indicated on the rating plate. The rating plate
can be seen by opening the oven door and
looking below the oven door seal.
l
Do not alter the electrical circuitry of this cooker.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
This cooker is designed to be fitted in cabinets of
the recommended dimensions as shown (Fig. 2).
l
If your cabinet interior dimension is between
565-570mm the oven may still be fitted. However
a minor modification to the cabinet will be
required.
l
The dimensions given provide adequate air
circulation around the unit within the cabinet,
ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.
l
Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker
point, if required, should be made to your
Regional Electricity Company to ensure
compliance with their regulations.
GETTING THINGS READY
CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
l
There are three possible ways to connect your
cooker. In each case the cooker should be
operated using at least 6mm² twin core and earth
PVC insulated multicore cable. Please choose
from the most appropriate after reading the
different methods:-
a) By connecting the cooker to a cooker point
(having a double pole isolating switch with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles and
neutral) and protected with a fuse or miniature
circuit breaker at your mains fuse box.
Subject to Regional Electricity Companies
regulations if you wish to connect the oven
and hob to the power supply you may use
one of the following two methods:-
b) By connecting the cooker together with a hob
directly to a cooker point(s). Having a double
pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact
separation in all poles and neutral.
c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a
cooker point you can by connecting the oven and
hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and
hob units should be separately connected to a
control panel. See Fig. 1.
l
The cooker socket switch should be outside the
cabinet but within 2m of the cooker to make it
accessible to switch off the cooker in case of an
emergency.
l
To protect the hands, wear gloves when lifting
the oven into its housing.
NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT
Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried
out before the cooker is connected to the mains
supply and re-checked after fitting.

Fig. 1
NOTE: It is good practice to:
l
Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your
house wiring.
l
Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations.
PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF OVEN
l
Make sure the cabinet is the correct size for the
appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 2).
l
If the size is between 565-570mm, then the
cabinet should be modified so that at the screw
fixing points the recommended dimension of at
least 560-565mm is maintained. The modification
should ideally be localised to ensure that after
screw fitment the oven is securely fixed into
position.
l
The cabinet must be stable and level by firmly
securing it to the wall or floor. If necessary,
make arrangements to ensure the shelf upon
which the oven will rest is level.

HOW TO FINISH UNPACKING
l
Place packed cooker next to the cabinet in which
it will be installed.
l
Remove the cooker packing except for bottom
tray which should be left in position until the
cooker is ready to be fitted into its cabinet.
l
Carefully score down from each end of the cable
sheathing along the length of the bare earth wire
(if a cut was made along the length of the live or
neutral wires, it might cut into their sheathing) to
the cuts already made.
l
Carefully prise open the sheathing at each end of
the cable to expose the encased wiring.
l
Ensure the owner is given these operating
instructions.
TOOLS REQUIRED
The following tools will be needed and it helps to
assemble them before starting to install your oven:
A terminal screwdriver (3mm wide blade)
A pozidrive screwdriver
Pliers
Wirestrippers
Knife
Sidecutters
Adhesive Tape
Tape Measure
TO REMOVE COVER OF MAINS TERMINAL
From the rear of the cooker, remove mains input
terminal cover to gain access to terminal block.
l
First remove retaining screw with pozidrive
screwdriver. See Fig. 3.
Fig.3
MAKE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Important: Switch off at mains, miniature
circuit breaker and, if appropriate, remove
fuse before commencing any electrical work.
PREPARING CABLE
We recommend you use a new length of cable to
ensure your safety.
l
Ensure you have the correct length of cable
appropriate to the wiring method you are using.
When fitting new cable allow sufficient cable for
removal of the unit at a later date, should it be
necessary.
l
Score, but do not cut through, around the
sheathing with a knife 100mm (4in) from each
end of the cable and break through to the
encased wires by bending the cable backwards
and forwards to fatigue the sheathing.
l
Prise cover loose using screwdriver in position
(1) then lever off with screwdriver in position (2)
at either side. See Fig. 4.
Fig.4
11
l
Lift cover and remove screw from cable clamp.
See Fig. 5.
Fig.5
CONNECTING TO MAINS TERMINAL
l
Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of
the outer insulation is inside the terminal block
and that the wires are not taught but not so slack
as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 6.
l
Place fuse/ miniature circuit breaker in circuit and
switch on at mains.
CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER POINT
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED.
l
Either follow in general terms the instructions for
connecting to the terminal block or refer to the
hob suppliers installation instructions.
Feed the cable through the cabinet and
arrange to route the cable away from the
cooker which may become hot.
Warning: This cooker must be earthed.
l
Make connection as shown in Fig. 6 by
proceeding as follows:-
Fig.6
l
Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit
fitting into the mains terminal block.
l
Strip inner insulation on wires using wirestrippers.
l
Twist the bared wires using pliers.
l
Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the
inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires
are used ensure they are suitably sheathed to
leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.
CHECKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
l
Correct electrical connection can be confirmed
when switching on the appliance as the electronic
minute minder will be flashing.
NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT
Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried
out before the cooker is connected to the mains
supply and re-checked after fitting.
l
Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal and
check they are held by tugging each one in turn.
12
FITTING INTO THE CABINET
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the oven is switched
off at the wall before any further work is carried
out.
l
Using a tape measure establish the internal width
of the cabinet. Refer to page 8 if greater than
565mm.
l
Position the cooker in front of the cabinet. See
Fig. 7.
l
Take out all oven furniture before installation to
reduce the weight you need to lift. The oven door
should be taped up to keep it closed whilst lifting.
l
To place the cooker into the cabinetry follow the
procedure below:
l
N.B. Two people will be required to carry out the
lifting procedure.
a) Each person should squat either side of the
cooker.
b) Tilt the cooker so that your hands can support
the underside of the cooker.
c) Keeping your back straight, raise the appliance to
the cabinet by straightening at the knees.
d) Rest the rear underside of the cooker on the
cabinet floor while your hands support the front.
e) The cooker can be pushed fully into the cabinet.
Take care to avoid fouling the mains lead.
