Recommendations

RATING PLATE
Record the model and serial numbers on the back
cover of this instruction book, from the rating plate.
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the oven
door.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
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 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 all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
A spacer has 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.
Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time
cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to
tile behind the cooker.

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.
REVERSIBLE OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 27 for your nearest
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be
made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant 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.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
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 grill deflector
1 cranked shelf for
grilling only
3 straight shelves
for oven cooking
1 hob lifting tool
Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining by the oven
furniture pack may occur during transit.
These marks will disappear after the oven elements
have been burnt off for the first time.
