Positioning the Cooker
Fig.6-1 shows the minimum recommended distance from the
cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
The hotplate surround should be level with, or above,
any adjacent work surface. A gap of 75mm should be left
between each side of the cooker ABOVE the hotplate level
and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 25mm. A minimum
space of 650mm is required between the top of the hob and
a horizontal combustible surface.
Fig.6-2 shows the suggested clearances above the cooker.
*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the
appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain
types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly
prone to heat damage and discolouration. We cannot accept
responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the
cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at
temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.
We recommend a gap of 920mm between units to allow
for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it must
be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
A clearance of 130mm is required if the cooker is near a
corner of the kitchen, to allow the oven doors to open
(Fig.6-3). The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but
this allows for some protection of your hand as you open the
door.
Unpacking the Cooker
Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is directly
in front of the place in which it is to be installed (unless it will
not fit through a door in its outer packaging).
Cut the banding straps and lift the cardboard box off the
cooker, leaving the cooker standing on the base packaging.
See the loose unpacking sheet.
Moving the Cooker
On no account try and move the cooker while it is
plugged into the electricity supply.
The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.
We recommend two people manoeuvre the cooker. Ensure
that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed to prevent
it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. To help
you, there are two levelling rollers at the back and two screw-
down levelling feet at the front. You will need the levelling
tool.
From the back, tilt the cooker forward and remove the rear
half of the polystyrene base pack (Fig.6-4). Repeat from the
front and remove the front half of the poly base.
