DURING USE
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system. This appliance has been designed for domestic use to cook edible foodstuffs only, and must not be used for any other purposes. Take great care when heating fats and oils as they will ignite if they become too hot. Never place plastic or any other material which may melt in or on the oven. Always stand back from the appliance when opening the doors to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. Always use oven gloves to remove and place food in the oven. Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity. Ensure cooking utensils are large enough to contain foods to prevent spillage and boil over. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. Do not leave the grill pan in position when grilling as it will become hot. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace the grill pan handle when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position. Always support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position.
The handles of saucepans, which are smaller than the heated area on the hob, will become hot. Ensure your hand is protected before handling the pan. Do not leave the hotplates switched ON for long periods when not covered by a saucepan. The controls and cabinets may overheat. Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local service force centre.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220
o
C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill or top oven are switched on and after a time when the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in at all at low temperature settings or where the main oven has only been used for a short time. The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs have been switched off until the appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not come on until the cooktime begins. Do not switch the appliance off at its power point until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)
The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance:-
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 meat tin
1 straight shelf (for grilling and top oven cooking)
2 straight shelves (for main oven cooking)
Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time.

In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all programming will be cancelled.
7. AUTOMATIC COOKING
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared
food is well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

THE CERAMIC HOB
Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible during cooking, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre.
USING THE HOB
· To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control
knob clockwise for the full area or anti-clockwise
for the centre section.
· The inner section is very economical when
cooking with small diameter saucepans.
· For single hotplates, turn the control knob in
either direction to vary the heat setting. The
highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest number represents the coolest
setting.
· This model has the added feature of two Rapid
power zone hotplates which react more quickly
than the other ceramic hotplates and are easily
identified by their instant red glow.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area. Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture. Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations.
NOTE:
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times. Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

HINTS AND TIPS
· Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches
and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium
bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off
providing they are not allowed to burn on.
· Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
· Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
· Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered
with a saucepan.
· Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean
and dry before the start of cooking.
· Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
· If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
HOT HOB INDICATOR
The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.
12
THE DUAL GRILL
WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
USING THE GRILL
· Select the grill function for full grill.
· Select the grill function for centre section only.
· Turn the temperature control knob to the right as
far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.
· To use the grill at lower settings, turn the
temperature control knob so that the 110°C or
150°C on the knob lines up with the off dot on the
panel.
The grill door must be left open when grilling.
THINGS TO NOTE
· The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident
as the grill cleans itself.
· The inner element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the outer element. This is quite
normal.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
When removing the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.
Ensure your hand is protected when removing the grill pan handle as the control panel trim and grill element can become very hot.
Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the food during cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS
· In order to become acquainted with the
performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to
check food regularly when grilling.
· Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
· Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan
runner position to allow for different thicknesses
of foods.
· Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
· When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1
with the grid in the high position.
· Preheat the grill on a full setting for five minutes
before cooking. Adjust the heat setting and shelf
as necessary during cooking.
· The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
· When using the centre section of the dual grill,
ensure the food is positioned centrally on the grill
pan grid in the grill pan.

THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top oven and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
USING THE TOP OVEN
· Turn the top oven function selector to.
· Turn the top oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
· The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
· The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
· The cooling fan will operate immediately with the
top oven.
· Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS
· All cooking should be carried out using an oven
shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
· There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings,
etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread,
etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on
the shelf.
· Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
· The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
· DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
· DO NOT use the meat tin or grill pan as a baking
tray as this will increase base browning of the
food.
· Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required.
· For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
16
THE MAIN OVEN
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
USING THE MAIN OVEN
· Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
· The interior light will come ON when the main
oven control is turned.
· The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
· The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS
· Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
· When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
· When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
· It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.
· The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart.
· Do not place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

DEFROST FEATURE
This main fan oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.
USING DEFROST FEATURE
· Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
· When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
· It may turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven.
THINGS TO NOTE
· The oven fan will come on.
HINTS AND TIPS
· Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.
· The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
· It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours.
· A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.
· Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
· All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed
thoroughly before cooking.
· Always cook thoroughly immediately after
thawing.
· DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.
· Care must always be taken when handling foods
in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

CARE AND CLEANING
Always switch off the electricity supply at the main wall switch and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth.
Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard.
CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles. THE USE OF ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE FINISH.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on. Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.
22
DAILY CLEANING
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned.
2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes.
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a) Cif Cream Cleaner b) Baking Soda
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS
1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.
2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn soilage.
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off as directed above.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’. If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.
23
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
· Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins.
· Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
· If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
· Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.
· Avoid the use of:
· Household detergents and bleaches.
· Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not
described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.
· Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
· Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
· Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
· Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
· It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other with hazardous results.
· Soilage from sugar solutions must be
removed from the hob before the syrup has set otherwise damage to the hob surface will occur.
· Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier.
24
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill/top oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
HINTS AND TIPS
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces.
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking – even at normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is over­browned.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following:
· Household detergents and bleaches
· Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
· Chemical oven pads or aerosols
· Rust removers
· Bath/Sink stain removers
25
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand.
4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite cleaner may be used. DO NOT use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted finishes. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the outer door.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.
Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.
TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the glass.
26
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb.
The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available through your local Service Force Centres).
Open the door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and glass which covers the bulb.
Support the glass with your hand and prise out sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to remove the bulb with ease.
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb assembly.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If your appliance has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.
Your appliance left the factory fully packaged to protect it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as damage may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross­sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.
The recommended cross-section area is six square millimetres (6.00mm
2
).
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X. See Fig.1.
To move the appliance, open the oven door, and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the compartment. See Fig.2.
This is a type Y appliance, which means it is free­standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant non-combustible material and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the appliance is required to enable the appliance to be moved into position.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap. See Fig.3.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob. See Fig.4.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
