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. 1).

Preparing the housing unit

Built-under oven

• 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 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.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 5 mm between the upper edge of the oven and the lower edge of the
worktop. This clearance must never be obstructed (fig.3).

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

• If the kitchen unit is not securely fixed to the wall, it must be anchored with standard brackets (G)

available on the market, see fig. 4.

Hob
Attention: to install the hob on other surfaces than wood (e.g. plastic, ceramic, marble, stone, etc.)

remember to ask After Sales Service for the fixing plates (Fig. 7-9).

• The hob must be fitted in a worktop with a minimum thickness of 20 mm and a maximum of 50 mm.

• There must be nothing between the hob and the oven (e.g. cross rails, insulating material, etc.).

• An adjacent column unit must be installed at least 100 mm from the edge of the hob (Fig. 5).

• Cut an opening in the worktop of the dimensions shown on the Product Description Sheet provided

with the worktop.

• We recommend you seal the internal edges of the worktop with wood glue or silicone.

• If not already in place, apply the supplied seal to the hob, after cleaning the adhesive surface thoroughly.

Conventional electric hob
IMPORTANT: Remove any protective film before installing the hob.

• If the worktop is made of wood, use the spring clips and screws provided.

1. Insert the 4 spring clips (B) (fig. 6) in their guides on the bottom of the hob.

2. Fit the hob into the worktop.

• If the worktop is made of marble or other material (e.g. plastic, ceramic, marble, stone,
etc.), the hob must be secured with special brackets (C) (Fig. 7), code 4819 310 18528, available at

1. Secure the spring clips (D) (fig. 8) with the screws provided (E) (fig. 8) as shown, paying attention to

the specified distances.
