WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower 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 main oven door,
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type Y 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 at either side of the
appliance is required to enable the appliance to be
moved into position.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
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 between the wall and the rear of
the appliance. 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.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven are switched on and after a time when
the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the
cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of
the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in
at all at low temperature settings or where the main
oven has only been used for a short time.
The cooling fan may run on, after the control knobs
have been switched off, until the appliance has
cooled.
Do not switch the appliance off at its power point
until the fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature
has been reached. They will turn on and off during
use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below please

relevant part number.
