INSTALLATION

Recommendations

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the oven from the mains before carrying out any installation work or servicing.

•Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with local regulations.

•Unpack the oven and make sure that the oven has not been damaged during transport and that the oven door closes properly. If you are not sure contact the dealer or the nearest service centre.

•After removing the oven from its packaging, leave it on the polystyrene base to prevent it from being damaged.

•When installing the oven it is advisable to wear protective gloves.

•The oven is provided with two side handles (B) to facilitate installation (fig. 7).

Preparing the housing unit

•Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant (80°C min).

•Cut the kitchen unit and worktop to fit before installing the oven. Carefully remove any shavings or sawdust that could prevent the oven from running properly.

•The dimensions of the housing units in which the oven can be installed are shown in figures 1, 2 and 3. The dimensions of the oven are shown in figure 4.

•To allow for proper ventilation, an opening should be left at the bottom of the housing unit. Pay attention to the dimensions. The bottom of the oven must not be accessible after installation.

•During installation make sure that the sides of the oven do not touch the adjacent units.
