INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
 
WARNINGS  
• This appliance must be installed by a 
qualified electrician/competent person. Safety 
may be impaired if installation is not carried 
out in accordance with these instructions. 
• This appliance must be earthed. 
• Do not remove the screws from the earth tab 
extending from the oven mains terminal block 
(Fig. 1). 
• Before connecting the appliance make sure 
that the voltage of your electricity supply is 
the same as that indicated on the rating plate. 
This is situated on the lower front frame of 
the appliance and can be seen upon opening 
the door.  Alternatively the rating plate may 
also be found on the back or top of some 
models (where applicable). 
• Do not alter the electrical circuitry of this 
appliance. 
 
 
CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 
 
• The appliance should be operated using at least 
6mm2 twin core and earth PVC insulated 
multicore cable.  Please choose from the most 
appropriate after reading the descriptions: 
• By connecting the appliance to a cooker point  
having a double pole isolating switch providing at 
least 3mm contact separation in all poles and 
protected with a fuse or miniature circuit breaker 
at your mains fuse box. 
• If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a 
cooker point you can, by connecting the oven 
and hob separately to the cooker point.  See Fig. 
2. 
 
NOTE:  It is good practice to : 
• Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your 
house wiring. 
• Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations.

32  THINGS TO NOTE 
• This appliance is designed to be fitted between 
cabinets with the recommended dimensions as 
shown in Fig. 3 & 4. 
• If there is an existing housing unit it must be 
removed. 
• The dimensions given provide adequate air 
circulation around the unit within the cabinet, 
ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335. 
• This appliance must not be installed on a wooden 
base board. 
• Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker 
point, if required, should be made to your 
Regional Electricity Company to ensure 
compliance with their regulations. 
• The cooker point should be within 2m of the 
appliance to make it accessible to switch off the 
appliance in case of an emergency. 
• To protect the hands, wear gloves when lifting 
the oven into its housing. 
 
 
Do not lift the appliance by the handles.  
 
NOTE:  HOUSE CIRCUIT 
Earth leakage / continuity tests must be carried out 
before the appliance is connected to the mains 
supply and re-checked after fitting. 
PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING 
OVEN 
• Make sure the space between the cabinets is the 
correct size for the appliance to be fitted (Ref. 
Fig. 5 & 6).  
• The plinth board spanning the space into which 
the appliance is to be installed should be 
removed. 
• If the size between adjacent cabinets is 605-
610mm, then the cabinets should be modified so 
that the recommended dimension of at least 600-
605mm is maintained. 
• The adjacent cabinets must be stable and firmly 
secured to the wall or floor.  If necessary, make 
arrangements to ensure the work surface below 
which the oven will rest is level. 
• Drill two pilot screw holes into the sides of the 
adjacent cabinets, in the positions indicated by 
Fig. 5. 
• Fit the appliance mounting brackets using the 
two holes indicated in Fig.7 to the adjacent 
cabinets (Ref. Fig.5 & 6). 
• Check that the mounting brackets are level.  
They can be adjusted if necessary by using the 
extra holes at the ends of the brackets.  Once the 
brackets are level, drill a pilot hole through the 
central hole in the bracket and fit the remaining 
screw.

							33  HOW TO FINISH UNPACKING 
• Place packed appliance next to the space in 
which it will be installed.   
• Remove the appliance packing except for bottom 
tray which should be left in position until the 
appliance is ready to be fitted into its cabinet. 
 
NOTE:  It is imperative that the appliance is left in 
the base to protect both the appliance and the 
floor. 
• Ensure the owner is given these operating 
instructions. 
 
 
 
Important:  Switch off at mains, miniature 
circuit breaker and, if appropriate, remove 
fuse before commencing any electrical 
work. 
 
TO REMOVE COVER OF MAINS 
TERMINAL 
 
From the rear of the appliance, remove mains input 
terminal cover to gain access to terminal block. 
 
• First remove retaining screw with pozidrive 
screwdriver.  See Fig. 8. 
 
• Prise cover loose using screwdriver in position 
(1) then lever off with screwdriver in position (2) 
at either side.  See Fig. 9. 
 
• Lift cover and remove screw from cable clamp.  
See Fig. 10.

34  CONNECTING TO THE MAINS TERMINAL 
 
 
Warning:  This appliance must be earthed. 
 
• We recommend you use a new length of 6mm2 
twin core and earthed cable to ensure your 
safety. 
• Make connection as shown in Fig.11 by 
proceeding as follows:- 
• Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit 
fitting into the mains terminal block. 
• Strip inner insulation on wires using 
wirestrippers. 
• Twist the bared wires using pliers. 
• Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the 
inner insulation.  Where uninsulated Earth wires 
are used ensure they are suitably sheathed to 
leave 10mm bare wire fit into the terminal. 
• Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal and 
check they are held by tugging each one in turn. 
• Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of 
the outer insulation is inside the terminal block 
and that the wires are not taught but not so slack 
as to cause any fouling.  See Fig. 11. 
• Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to 
the cooker point / junction box. 
• Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in circuit 
and switch on at mains. 
 
CHECKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 
• Correct electrical connection can be confirmed 
when switching on the appliance as the timer will 
be flashing. 
 
NOTE:  HOUSE CIRCUIT 
 
Earth leakage / continuity tests must be carried out 
before the appliance is connected to the mains 
supply and re-checked after fitting. 
 
 
CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER 
POINT 
• Either follow in general terms the instructions for 
connecting to the terminal block or refer to the 
hob suppliers installation instructions. 
 
 
Feed the cable through the cabinet and 
arrange to route the cable away from the 
appliance, which may become hot.

							35  FITTING INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN 
CABINETS 
 
 
IMPORTANT:  Ensure that the oven is 
switched off at the wall before any further 
work is carried out. 
 
• Position the appliance in front of the cabinet.  
See Fig. 12. 
• Take out all oven furniture before installation to 
reduce the weight you need to lift.  The oven 
door should be taped up to keep it closed. 
• To place the appliance into the space between 
cabinetry follow the procedure below: 
• N.B.  Two people will be required to carry out 
the lifting procedure. 
 
 
Warning:  Do not attempt to lift this 
appliance by the handle(s). 
 
 
• Each person should squat either side of the 
appliance. 
• Tilt the appliance so that your hands can support 
the underside of the appliance. 
• Keeping your back straight, raise the appliance to 
the correct height by straightening at the knees. 
• Rest the rear underside of the appliance on the 
mounting brackets while your hands support the 
front. 
• The appliance can be pushed fully into the 
space. Take care to avoid fouling the mains lead. 
• Ensure the appliance is central and level. 
• When the appliance is fully housed, screw the 
stability screws (supplied with the appliance) into 
the underside of the worksurface in the positions 
indicated (see Fig. 13), taking care not to distort 
the trim.  It is advisable to turn each screw 
alternatively to avoid damaging the trim. 
• Place the heat deflector flush with the edge of the 
worksurface, (see Fig.14) with the cork spacers 
up over (see Fig.15) and screw into position 
using the screws supplied with the appliance. 
Failure to do this may cause damage to the 
underside of the work surface. 
• Replace the plinth board. 
• Switch on the appliance and refer the user to the 
operating instructions.
