Installation

IMPORTANT: ISOLATE YOUR OVEN FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE.

Installation should be carried out according to the instructions by a professionally qualified person only.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, animals, or materials due to incorrect installation.

FITTING THE APPLIANCE: Fit the appliance into its surround (beneath a worktop or above another appliance in a tall housing) by inserting screws and plastic covers into the 2 holes (A - fig.3) that can be seen in the frame of the oven when the door is open.

Oven Dimensions

See below for full dimensional drawings of your oven to help with installation.

For a built-in oven to work well, the cabinet must be of the right type.

The panels of the adjoining furniture should be heat resistant. Particularly when the adjoining furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able to withstand a temperature of 120°C. Plastic materials or adhesives which cannot withstand this temperature may become deformed or unstuck.

To comply with safety regulations, once the appliance has been fitted, it should not be possible to make contact with the electrical parts. All parts which offer protection should be fixed in such a way that they cannot be removed without the use of a tool.

Electrical Connection

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Check that the power rating of the mains supply is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance as indicated on the rating label. The fuse rating for this appliance is 16amp.

The appliance is supplied with a mains lead; it should be "Hard wired" as follows:

• The "yellow/green" earth wire, which must be connected to a terminal, and has to be about 10mm longer than the other wires.
• The neutral wire has to be connected to the terminal marked with a letter N.
• The Live wire should only be connected to the terminal marked L.

Mains connection can also be made by fitting a double pole switch with a minimum gap between the contacts of 3mm, proportionate to the load and complying with the regulations in force. The yellow/green earth wire should not be controlled by the switch.

When a double pole switch is used for mains supply connection, it should be easily accessed once the appliance is in position.

IMPORTANT: The mains supply cable should be positioned so that it is never subjected to temperatures which are more than 50°C above ambient temperature.

The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed when it has been correctly connected to a properly earthed mains electrical supply, as laid down in the current regulations for electrical safety. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons or objects due to lack of an earth connection.

The ovens are designed to operate with a mono-phase alternating current of 220-240V, 50Hz. Before the installation of the appliance, check the specifications on the rating label.

• Fan Assisted Heat: Ensures even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity.
• Pyrolytic Cleaning: A high-temperature cleaning cycle.
• Demo Mode: For showroom or demonstration purposes.

Pyrolytic Cleaning

The pyrolytic cleaning function heats the oven to a very high temperature, turning food residue into ash, which can then be easily wiped away.

Preparation:

• Before starting the pyrolytic cycle, remove all oven shelves, trays, wire racks, and the telescopic runners.
• Ensure the oven door is securely closed.
• Wipe up any large spills or debris from the oven interior.

Starting the Cycle:

• Select the Pyrolytic Cleaning function using the control panel.
• Set the desired cleaning duration or intensity if applicable.
• Press the Start button. The oven door will automatically lock for safety during the cycle.

After Cleaning:

• Once the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled down, the door lock will release.
• Wipe away the ash residue from the oven interior with a damp cloth.

Demo Mode

Demo Mode allows the oven's functions to be demonstrated without the heating elements activating. To activate or deactivate Demo Mode, follow the specific sequence outlined in the manual, typically involving pressing a combination of buttons.

Replacing the Oven Lamps

If an oven lamp fails:

1. Ensure the oven is switched off and completely cool.
2. Isolate the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
3. Locate the lamp cover inside the oven cavity.
4. Unscrew or release the lamp cover.
5. Carefully unscrew the old bulb.
6. Screw in a new bulb of the same type and wattage (refer to manual for specifications).
7. Replace the lamp cover.
