Certaintypes of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularlyprone to heat damage and discolouration.We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused bynormal use of the cooker to any material that de-laminatesor discolours at temperatures less than 65 °C above roomtemperature.We recommend a gap of 1110 mm between units to allowfor moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it mustbe possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning andservicing.If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig.7-3).The actual opening of the doors is slightly less but this allowsfor some protection of your hand as you open the door.Moving the Cookernn On no account try and move the cooker while it isplugged into the electricity supply.nn The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker.Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed,to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cookeraround.To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, andtwo screw-down levelling feet at the front.Remove the polystyrene base pack.
