INSTALLATION

Check the ap pli ance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have fi nished.

Levelling

You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in 
one of the ovens to check for level.

Place the cooker in its intended position taking care not 
to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as 
damage may occur to the cooker or the units.

The rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust 
the height of the rear of the cooker use the levelling tool 
supplied to turn the adjusting nuts at the front base of 
the cooker.

Adjust the height of the front roller to level the cooker. 
Turn clockwise to raise the cooker and anticlockwise to 
lower.

When you are satisfi ed with the height and level raise 
the front of the cooker by one turn of the front roller 
adjuster. Screw down the front feet to meet the fl oor. 
Screw the front roller adjuster anticlockwise to raise the 
front roller so that the front of the cooker is supported 
on the feet, not the front roller, to prevent accidental 
movement of the cooker.

Fitting a stability bracket

A stability bracket or chain (not supplied by with the 
cooker) should be fi tted when the cooker is connected 
to a fl exible gas supply.
When fi tting a stability bracket read these instructions 
together with the leafl et supplied with the bracket.

1.  Place the cooker in its intended position and level it.

2.  Draw a pencil line 100mm from the front edge of the 

levelling feet.

3.  Mark the centre line for the bracket by measuring 

550mm from the left hand side of the cooker.

4.  Lower the front roller and move the cooker forward.

5.  Measure back from the pencil line 550mm to locate 

the front edge of the bracket. Fix the bracket to the 
fl oor.

6.  Measure the height from fl oor level to engagement 

edge in back of cooker. Add 3mm to this dimension 
and assemble the stability bracket to this height. (i.e. 
from fl oor level to underside of the top member) and 
ensure the bracket does not foul the oven burner 
assembly.

Gas Connection

Must be in accordance with the relevant standards. A 
hose is not supplied with the cooker. Hoses may be 
purchased at most builders’ merchants.

The gap between the 
cooker rear cover boxes 
and the rear wall when the 
cooker is pushed back is 
only 50mm. 

Because of this we 
recommend that a 
Micropoint™ connection 
hose and connector are 
used.

Alternatively connect from the side.

Because the height of the cooker can be adjusted and 
each connection is diff erent it is diffi

  cult to give precise 

dimensions. Ideally the house supply bayonet should 
be in the shaded area shown in the diagram on the next 
page. Although a 900mm hose can be used, a 1250mm 
hose will allow slightly more fl exibility in the positioning 
of the bayonet and make moving the cooker easier. 

The hose should be fi tted so that both inlet and 
outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs 
downwards in a "U" and the hose and it's connections 
are not strained.

The connector is located just below the hotplate level at 
the rear of the cooker. See the diagram on the next page.

In the UK

For Na tural Gas the fl exible hose must be in 
accordance with B.S.669.

For LP Gas it should be capable of 50mbar pressure, 
70°C temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or 
label.

In the Republic of Ireland:-

Consult I.S. 813 for details of connection 
requirements.

If in doubt contact, your supplier.
