by grease remaining on the heating element from the production
process.

Installation
Check the measurements in fig. 4 to confirm the requirements for your
installation. Please note, the oven dimensions show a standard CDA
oven and will vary depending on the appliance being installed above
the warming drawer.
1. Connect the mains lead to the product before installation. Run
the lead to the power outlet to be used and connect to the mains
electrical supply. Do not switch on until installation is complete.
2. Locate the product centrally on the supporting shelf and fix into
position using the fixing screws and plastic supports (Fig. 3).
3. Carefully fit the appliance on top of
the warming drawer, taking care not
to scratch the top stainless edge
of the drawer unit. Ensure that the
mains connection lead is located
near to the power outlet, to avoid
having to remove the product again
to connect the mains electrical
supply.
4. Secure the oven into the housing
using appropriate fixing screws.

5. The warming drawer is supplied with three metal filler strips with
self-adhesive backing. These strips should be attached to the
warming drawer to seal any gaps between the appliance and the
housing. Remove the protective foil from each strip and position
it as shown in fig. 2 so it is flush with the rear and side walls of the
housing, then attach to the warming drawer. If there is no rear wall
to the housing, the rear trim is not required.
The casing of this appliance will get hot. Ensure that any cables that
may come into contact with the appliance once installed are suitable
for use at 85°C.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
•Before any maintenance is started involving electrical parts, the
appliance must be disconnected from the power supply.
•If the warming drawer has been in use, let it cool down before
attempting any maintenance.
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•Once care and maintenance is complete, ensure that all parts are
correctly replaced before using the appliance.
Warming drawer exterior
As the warming drawer has a stainless steel surface, you should use a
nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch
the surface and could erase the control panel markings. Stainless
steel can be cleaned eectively by simply using a dilute solution of
water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available. We recommend the
CDA E-Cloth available from the CDA Sales Team for cleaning stainless
steel surfaces as this has been designed to prolong the finish of your
appliance.
Warming drawer interior
The inside should always be cleaned after use when it has cooled
down.
The inside should be cleaned using a mild detergent solution and
warm water, then dried thoroughly.

member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.T. and local regulations.
The wires in the mains lead of this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following
code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
connecting to the fuse spur, proceed as follows:
•The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to
the terminal marked E (Earth) or coloured green.
