THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED ON A NON-FIXED RAISED BASE.
Fixing To ensure that critical air gaps are maintained under the product, we
recommend that this product is mounted on a solid base and that the feet do
not sink into any carpet or soft flooring.
The cooker is designed to slot between standard kitchen units spaced a
minimum 500mm apart. The clearance either side need only be sufficient to allow the
cooker to be withdrawn for servicing.
It can be used with cabinets on either side but for a minimum distance of 400mm
above hotplate level allow a side clearance of 65mm between the appliance and any
wall, partition or tall cupboard. It can also be used in a free standing position.
Allow a minimum distance of 750mm from the hob surface to the underside of any
overhead combustible surface such as overhanging cabinets.
Your cooker is heavy, so be careful when moving or positioning it. Do not try to move
the cooker by pulling on the doors or handles.
Whatever the position, remember to leave enough room for the cooker to be pulled
out for cleaning and service.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows and
pulling forwards. Open the Grill door and the Conventional Oven door sufficiently to
allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roofs, avoiding any
grill elements or oven interior furniture. Take care not to damage any floor coverings.
If a cooker hood is to be fitted, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding fixing
height.
WARNING
The use of a gas cooker results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation
holes or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical cooker hood)
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for
example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
Connecting to This appliance is designed not to project in front of standard 600mm
Gas Supply worktops (excluding handles). To achieve the best fit the cooker must be pushed
against the wall. If the wall mounted adapter backplate (Fig.1) is to be fitted behind
the appliance then the suitable area for this fitting is shown as the area in (Fig.2).
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are likely to come into
contact with the flexible hose do not exceed 70°C. However, do not allow contact of
the hose in the top 150mm/6 inches (the shaded area shown in Fig.3).
