Positioning the Oven
If installing below an existing hob the gas connection must
be on the right-hand side as shown in Fig. 8.1 from the rear
of the hob.
The oven can be installed under a worktop (Fig. 8.2) or at
high level in a tall kitchen unit and depending on the type of
installation it is designed to fit into a standard 600 mm wide
cabinet housing.
The worktop and any associated hob should be fitted
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
10 mm between the oven and the bottom of the hob. Failure
to maintain a suitable clearance may impair the performance
of the hob.
Ensure that air can flow freely around the housing area. If the
oven is being installed into a fully enclosed built-under oven
housing unit it may be necessary to cut a small slot in the top
of the plinth fitted under the unit. Cut a section 400 mm wide
and a minimum of 10 mm high to allow air to pass under the
unit. Alternatively cut a section 400 x450 mm in the base of
the carcass Fig. 8.3 and Fig. 8.4.
NOTE: If the oven is being installed directly below a built-in
hotplate, an additional spacer (not supplied) may be required
directly above the top of the built-in oven fascia to maintain
clearance Fig. 8.5.
Surfaces of furniture and walls adjacent to the appliance
should be heat, splash and steam resistant. All cabinet doors
must be at least 4 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 or handle as a lever for lifting the oven as damage may
result.
If you lower the oven door, you will see 4 screw holes, 2 on
each side of the oven. The oven should then be secured to
the housing by fitting screws into these holes Fig. 8.6.
The housing should not be free standing but be
n
secured to the wall and/or adjacent fittings.
INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished.
Provision for Ventilation
Failure to allow adequate ventilation to the appliance may
result in overheating or damage to adjacent units and could
invalidate the guarantee.
The appliance housing used must provide adequate
ventilation. To allow for sufficient ventilation space a
minimum of 560 mm of depth is required.
If a tall housing is to be installed flush with the ceiling, a 20
cm² ventilation cut-out must be provided at the top of the
housing.
