Positioning The Oven; Provision For Ventilation - Rangemaster RMB7248BL/SS User Manual & Installation & Service Instructions

Positioning the Oven

The oven can be installed under a worktop. Depending on
the installation (Fig. 10.1, Fig. 10.2, Fig. 10.3) it is designed
to fit between 560 mm and 600 mm wide opening between
two kitchen units.
The oven is 595 mm across the trims and an unrestricted
opening of 540 mm minimum depth is needed, as measured
from the front of the cabinet door to the rear of the housing.
The worktop and any associated hob should be fi tted
BEFORE installing this oven.
It is recommended that if installing a built-in oven directly
under the hob then there should be a minimum air gap of 20
mm between the oven and the bottom of the hob. Failure to
maintain a suitable clearance may impair the performance of
the hob.
Surfaces of furniture and walls adjacent to the appliance
should be heat, splash and steam resistant. All cabinet doors
must be at least 8 mm from the oven at all points.
Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are
particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration. We
cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal
use of the appliance to any material that de-laminates
or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room
temperature.
When placing the oven in the housing, do not use the oven
door as a lever for lifting the oven as damage may result.
Once the oven is in position in the housing, use suitable
screws to secure in place.
Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished.
INSTALLATION

Provision for Ventilation

The appliance housing used must provide adequate
ventilation. If installing into a 600 mm housing, an opening of
at least 50 mm deep must be cut in both the top and bottom
of the housing unit to provide suffi cient ventilation.
