WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively
the rating plate may also be found on the back or top
of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt
to install it.
Your appliance left the factory fully packaged to
protect it from damage. If it is delivered without
packaging and damage has occurred, the
manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact
your supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as
damage may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-
sectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm2).
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the appliance, open the fan oven door, and
lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type X appliance, which means it is free-
standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the appliance is
required to enable the appliance to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of ether side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY
stores.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tile or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
INTRODUCTION
Air gap

Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause
discolouration of wallcoverings behind the appliance.
For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile
behind the appliance.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched
on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature
has been reached. The neon will turn on and off
during use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.

supplied with the appliance:
1 grill pan
