Your safety is of paramount importance.
Therefore, if you are unsure about any of the
meanings of these WARNINGS contact the:

RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating plate.
This is situated on the base of the appliance on the
front right hand side.
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 cooker as
this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.
Your cooker 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 cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker 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. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and lift
the cooker 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.
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 cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into position.
It is recommended that proprietary trims are fitted to
protect the worktops of either side of the appliance.
These are available from most DIY stores.
Two spacers have been incorporated into the back of
the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
INTRODUCTION
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
This appliance complies with Radio Interference
requirements of EEC Directive 87/308/EEC.

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 front of the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET
It is recommended that a stability bracket supplied with
the appliance be fitted during installation.
The instructions are as follows.
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and level
appliance.
2. Mark off 280mm from the left hand side at the base
of the appliance as shown in dimension 'A', Fig 1.
This is the centre line of the fixing bracket.
3. Draw a line across the front edge of the feet (see
Fig 1) and remove appliance from its position. Mark
off dimension 'B' (see Fig 1) back from this line on
the centre line of the bracket to locate the front edge
of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket (with two
fixing holes) to the floor then measure the height
from floor level to engagement edge on back of
appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 2.
4. Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that
underside of bracket is dimension 'C' +3mm above
floor level. (see Fig. 2).
Reposition appliance and check that top bracket
engages into appliance back as shown in Fig. 2.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 - 15
minutes at 220°C 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 ovens are 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.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEON
The light indicates whether the oven or the grill are
switched on. The neon also indicates when the set
temperature is being maintained. The neon will cycle on
and off during cooking. In the case of the oven the neon
indicates when the correct temperature has been
reached.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 straight shelf
for oven
