RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity
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 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 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
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.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.

REVERSIBLE MAIN 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 30 for your nearest
Service Force Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge
will be made.
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. 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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
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 cooker has cooled.
If an automatic programme has been set the cooling
fan does not come on until the cooktime begins.
Do not switch the cooker off at its power point until the
cooling fan has cooled the cooker down.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

supplied with the cooker: If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below please
contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the
relevant part number.
