Failureto maintain a suitable clearance may impair the performanceof the hob.Ensure that air can flow freely around the housing area. If theoven is being installed into a fully enclosed built-under ovenhousing unit it may be necessary to cut a small slot in the topof the plinth fitted under the unit. Cut a section 400 mm wideand a minimum of 10 mm high to allow air to pass under theunit. Alternatively cut a section 400 x450 mm in the base ofthe carcass Fig. 8.3 and Fig. 8.4.NOTE: If the oven is being installed directly below a built-inhotplate, an additional spacer (not supplied) may be requireddirectly above the top of the built-in oven fascia to maintainclearance Fig. 8.5.Surfaces of furniture and walls adjacent to the applianceshould be heat, splash and steam resistant. All cabinet doorsmust be at least 4 mm from the oven at all points.Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture areparticularly prone to heat damage and discolouration. Wecannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normaluse of the appliance to any material that de-laminatesor discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above roomtemperature.When placing the oven in the housing, do not use the ovendoor or handle as a lever for lifting the oven as damage mayresult.If you lower the oven door, you will see 4 screw holes, 2 oneach side of the oven. The oven should then be secured tothe housing by fitting screws into these holes Fig. 8.6.The housing should not be free standing but be secured tothe wall and/or adjacent fittings.Provision for VentilationFailure to allow adequate ventilation to the appliance mayresult in overheating or damage to adjacent units and couldinvalidate the guarantee.The appliance housing used must provide adequateventilation. To allow for sufficient ventilation space aminimum of 560 mm of depth is required.If a tall housing is to be installed flush with the ceiling, a 20cm² ventilation cut-out must be provided at the top of thehousing.
