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.

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

•The dimensions of the oven and unit are shown in figures 2-3-4.

•To allow for proper ventilation, an opening should be left at the bottom of the housing unit.

Pay attention to the dimensions in fig. 4. The bottom of the oven must not be accessible after installation.
