INSTALLING THE UNDER THE COUNTER OVEN

Recommendations

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

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

•Unpack the oven and make sure that the appliance 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.

•Do not lift the oven by the door handle. Get hold of it using the side openings provided.

Cooktop

Attention: when installing the cooktop on a surface made of material other than wood (marble, plastic, ceramic, stone, etc.) remember to ask After Sales Service for the fixing plates (fig. 6-8).

•The cooktop 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 cooktop 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 cooktop (fig. 4).

•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 cooktop, after cleaning the adhesive surface thoroughly.

Preparing the housing unit
