IMPORTANT:
Isolate your appliance from the electrical supply before performing installation or maintenance.
› Installation should be carried out according to the instructions by a professionally qualified
person only.
› The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, animals or materials
due to incorrect installation.
› The appliance requires a sufficient supply of cool air for efficient operation. Make sure that
the supply of cool air is not hindered in any way (e.g. by fitting heat insulation strips in
the cabinet carcase). Furthermore, the required supply of cool air must not be excessively
heated by other heat sources.
FITTING THE APPLIANCE
Fit the appliance into its surround (beneath a worktop or in an appliance tall housing) by
inserting screws and plastic covers into the 2 holes (A – fig.1) that can be seen in the frame of
the appliance when the door is open. The screws should then be fixed into the

NOTE:
To aid ventilation, we suggest leaving a small gap of around 3mm between the top of the
plinth and underside of the cabinet to allow fresh air to circulate around the oven.

19Instruction manual CMS260Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
The rear panel of the cabinet must be removed so that air can circulate freely. The panel to
which the oven is fitted should have a gap of at least 50mm at the rear for ventilation:
See page 20 for full dimensional drawings of your oven to help with installation.
For a built-in microwave oven to work well, the cabinet must be of the right type.
The panels of the adjoining furniture should be heat resistant. Particularly when the adjoining
furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able to withstand a temperature
of 120˚C. Plastic materials or adhesive which cannot withstand this temperature may become
deformed or unstuck.
To comply with safety regulations, once the appliance has been fitted it should not be possible
to make contact with the electrical parts.
All parts which offer protection should be fixed in such a way that they cannot be removed with
the use of a tool.
