INSTALLATION

Technical information for the installer

• After removing the oven from its packaging, before making the connections place it on the polystyrene foam base to protect it from damage.
- Do not attempt to lift the oven by the handle. Lift at the sides as shown in the figure (see arrow).
- Check that the appliance has not been damaged in transit.
- Oven dimensions and kitchen unit dimensions are shown in the figure opposite.
- Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant (80°C min).
- If plastic laminates or cement are not sufficiently heat-resistant, warping, bubbling or detachment of the finish may result.
• Install the oven in the housing, lifting it at the sides, taking care not to trap the wires of the electrical supply cable.
- For correct ventilation, follow the ventilation opening directions shown in the figure (500 min x 80 mm and 500 min x 50 mm inside the cabinet).
- Secure the oven to the kitchen unit with screws (A) as shown.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Important: do not connect to the power supply before you have finished connecting the oven and cooktop.
• Make sure the appliance is installed and connected to the electricity supply by a qualified technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in compliance with local regulations.
  • The installer is responsible for the correct electrical connection of the appliances and the observance of the relative safety recommendations.
• The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply by means of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm.
  • The appliances must be earthed by law.
• Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads.
  • After the oven has been installed, the electrical components must be concealed.
• Make sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate is the same as the power supply voltage in your home. The rating plate is on the front edge of the oven cavity (visible with oven door open).

• To make the most of your new oven, read the users instructions carefully and keep them on hand for consultation in the future.
- Remove the cardboard protections and the protective plastic film.

- Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it at 200^ for about an hour to eliminate the smell of protective grease and insulating materials. Keep the window open during this procedure.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

- The packaging material can be 100% recycled, as confirmed by the recycling symbol (△)

2. Appliances

- The appliances are built from recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the appliances observe local waste disposal by-laws. Cut off the power cords so that the appliances cannot be connected to the mains.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Before any maintenance on the oven disconnect it from the mains.
• Keep children away from the oven when it is in use and when its has just been switched off.
• The oven must be repaired or adjusted only by a qualified technician.
  • Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical appliances near the oven do not come into contact with hot parts and do not become entrapped in the oven door.
• Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and accessories when the oven is hot.
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil.
• Do not place inflammable material in the oven - risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switched on.
• During the cooking process, water evaporates from food. All ovens require this steam and other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have determined that an opening at the bottom of the door is the optimum solution. Consequently, vapour may be seen to be coming from this area on occasions (see picture).

This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of the oven door as described later in this chapter "Cleaning the oven and its accessories". Bear in mind there may be residual steam inside the oven. Accordingly, great care should be taken when opening the oven door.

- Heavy weights must not be placed on the open door as this may result in damage to the cavity and hinges. Max weight: 7 kg (15lbs).

Fumes exhaust

- Never stand or sit on the oven open door. Never hang any weight at the handle of the oven door when open.

OVEN ACCESSORIES

- Accessories supplied depend on the model (see the Product Description Sheet supplied separately).

Drip tray 1

The drip tray is designed to collect fat and food particles when it is positioned under the grid; it can also be used as a griddle to cook meat, chicken and fish, with or without vegetables. When using the drip tray under the grid, pour in a little water to avoid fat spatters and smoke.

Baking tray 2

For cooking biscuits, meringues and pizzas.

Grid 3

The grid can be used to grill food or as a support for baking trays, cake tins and other cooking receptacles. It can be placed on any of the runners in the oven.

Catalytic panels 4

These panels have a microporous coating that absorbs fat spatters. We recommend an automatic cleaning cycle after cooking particularly fatty food.

1. To clean the oven heat it to 200^ C when empty and leave it switched on for about an hour.
2. At the end of the cycle and when the oven is cool; use a moist sponge to remove food residues if necessary.
   Do not use detergent or cleaners - risk of damaging the catalytic enamel coating.

Spit 5

Use the spit as indicated in the relevant chapter in the Product Description Sheet supplied separately.

Pan Set Kit 6

The set comprises a grid 6a brip tray and one or two tongs 6c This accessory must be set on the grid 3 and used with the Grill function.
