INSTALLATION - 90CM
STEP 1 : PREPARE INSTALLATION
Do not lift the appliance by the door
handle.
Removethexingscrewsfromthe
polythene bag on the top of the appliance,
but leave the appliance in the base tray
packaging until you are ready to install it.
Whilst every care is taken to eliminate
burrs and raw edges from this appliance,
please take care when handling - we
recommend the use of protective gloves
during installation.
Please note that the weight of this
appliance is approximately 48kg
(unpacked). Take care when lifting it
into the housing unit - always use an
appropriate method of lifting.
Note: When removing the appliance from
the base tray packaging care should
be taken to ensure the appliance is not
damaged.
Siting the appliance
If this appliance is to be installed near to
a corner where the adjacent cabinets run
at right angles forward of the appliance,
there must be a gap of at least 90mm
between the appliance and the cabinets,
to prevent overheating of the cabinets.
When installed in a typical 600mm
deep built in housing unit, the false back
should be removed from the housing
unit, to provide the necessary depth for
installation.
When the false back is removed, it is
normally the case that the support shelf
for the appliance leaves a gap between
the back edge of the support shelf and the
rear wall of approximately 80mm.
If no gap occurs between the back edge
of the shelf and the wall behind the unit,
you must create a gap of at least 30mm
by shortening the shelf and any other
shelf below the appliance.
Cut 12mm from the top of any plinth that
maybetted(seediagram).
Important: Do not modify the outer
panels of this appliance in any way.
