INSTALLATION

Positioning the Cooker

Fig. 7.1 and Fig. 7.2 show the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface.
A gap of 75 mm should be left between each side of the
cooker ABOVE the hotplate level and any adjacent vertical
surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 25 mm.
A minimum space of 650 mm is required between the top of
the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cookerhood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer's instructions.
**Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for the
additional height of the flue trim, which is fitted to the cooker
hob.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the
appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. 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 cooker to any material that de-laminates
or discolours at temperatures less than 65 °C above room
temperature.
We recommend a gap of 910 mm between units to allow
for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it must
be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of
130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig. 7.3).
The actual opening of the doors is slightly less but this allows
for some protection of your hand as you open the door.

Moving the Cooker

On no account try and move the cooker while it is
n n
plugged into the electricity supply.
The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.
n n
We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker.
Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed,
to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker
around.
To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and
two screw-down levelling feet at the front.
Remove the polystyrene base pack. From the front, tilt
the cooker backwards and remove the front half of the
polystyrene base (Fig. 7.4).
Repeat from the back and remove the rear half of the
polystyrene base.
