Positioning the Oven
The oven can be installed under a worktop (Fig. 10.1) 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 Fig. 10.3. Alternatively cut a section 400 x450 mm in the
base of the carcass Fig. 10.2.
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. 10.4.
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. In
particular, cabinets with a veneer exterior must be assembled
with glues which can withstand temperatures of up to 100°C.
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. 10.5.
The housing should not be freestanding but be
n
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.
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.
