CONNECTING THE COOKER
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a
qualified person – for example one who is registered (or similar) by NICEIC
(National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) registered
contractor.
WARNING! THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED!
The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply as stated on the
rating plate situated adjacent to the bottom left hand main oven door hinge,
through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a double pole switch
having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles, adjacent to (but not
above) the cooker. It should also be easily accessible when cleaning the
cooker or in case of an emergency. The cooker supply must be rated 45A
minimum.
We recommend that P.V.C. insulated twin and earth cable is used to connect
the cooker to the cooker control unit. The minimum size of cable that can be
used is 6mm
2 twin and earth, the maximum size is 10mm 2 twin and earth.
The power supply cable should conform to BS6004.
IMPORTANT
For access to the mains terminal block, for supply cable connection, it is
necessary to remove the mains terminal cover, located at the lower right-hand
side of the rear panel.
No part of the appliance, even the timer of the oven unit, will operate unless
the main control unit is switched On.
Allow sufficient cable length for the cooker to be pulled out for cleaning, but do
not let it hang on the floor. The cable can be looped if necessary, but make
sure that it is not kinked or trapped when the cooker is in position.
This appliance conforms to BSEN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and
television interference.
BEFORE COOKING
Before you cook for the first time, we recommend that you switch on each
element in turn to burn off any odours remaining from manufacture. Simply
operate each hob element and the grill on maximum for a few minutes, and the
ovens for about 30 minutes.
Also, before you use the ceramic hob for the first time, clean the hob surface
with Ceramic Hob Cleaner and Conditioner. This applies a thin protective film
to the hob, making it easier to clean, and prolonging its life.
