Scrapping of household appliances

- This appliance is manufactured with recyclable or reusable materials. Dispose of it in accordance with local waste
disposal regulations. Before scrapping, cut off the power supply cable.

- For further information on the treatment, recovery and recycling of household electrical appliances, contact your
competent local authority, the collection service for household waste or the store where you purchased the appliance.

After unpacking the oven, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport and that the oven door closes properly.
In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. To prevent any damage, only remove the
oven from its polystyrene foam base at the time of installation.

PREPARING THE HOUSING UNIT

• Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant (min 90°C).

• Carry out all cabinet cutting work before fitting the oven in the housing and carefully remove all wood chips and
sawdust.

• After installation, the bottom of the oven must no longer be accessible.

• For correct appliance operation, do not obstruct the minimum gap between the worktop and the upper edge of the
oven.

Important: any adjustments, maintenance, etc. must be executed with the oven disconnected from electricity.

To guarantee proper operation of the built-in appliance, the furniture unit must have suitable characteristics:

- the panels adjacent to the oven must be constructed in heat resistant materials;

- in the case of veneered wood furniture units, the glue must be heat resistant to temperatures up to 100°C;

Before installing the oven into the furniture, it is necessary to assemble the lower profile “drip-catcher” (included in the
packaging). This “drip-catcher” must be attached to the lower part using the 3 screws supplied (please see the next
drawing).

The oven must be located in a standard opening of 600mm, as shown in the following drawing. When inserting the oven,
it is absolutely necessary to provide adequate ventilation by making suitable openings, as shown in the drawing. The oven
is secured to the furniture unit by four “A” screws located in the holes of the frame.
Make sure not to li ft the oven by its door when inserting it; furthermore, do not place excessive pressure on the door when
it is open.
Note: if no opening has been anticipated in the upper part of the column furniture, make a hole which is 500 mm wide and
85-90 mm high in the lower part of the column.

3. Attach the cable to the appropriate cable holder.

4. Close the terminal board cover.

The cable must not be bent or compressed, and has to be periodically checked and only replaced by authorized techni cians.

Attaching the power supply cable to the mains

For direct connection to the mains power, it is necessary to use a device that ensures that the mains power is disconnected,
with a distance between contacts that allows complete disconnection in compliance with surge category III and installation
regulations.
Assemble a standard plug for the capacity indicated on the features type plate.
If the oven has a direct connection to the mains electricity supply, it is necessary to install an omnipolar switch between the
appliance and mains power with a minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm dimensioned for the indicated
capacity and in compliance with currently enforced regulations (the switch must not interrupt the ground cable).
The power supply cable must be positioned in such a way that it does not exceed the room temperature by 50°C at any
point.
The installer is responsible for correctly hooking-up the electricity connection and adherence to safety regulations.
Before proceeding with any operation, make sure that:

- the socket has a ground connection and complies with legal regulations;

- the socket is able to withstand the oven's maximum power capacity indicated on the features type plate (see below);

- The power supply voltage is within the values listed in the electrical characteristics label (see below);

- the socket is compatible with the appliance plug.

- If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance is installed, the electrical cable and the electrical power socket must be easy to reach.
The cable must not be bent or compressed, and has to be periodically checked and only replaced by authorized techni cians.

Replacement of the power cable

If the power cable needs to be replaced, use cables of the following type only:

-H05 RR-F,
