INSTALLING THE UNDER THE COUNTER
OVEN
Recommendations
Important: Disconnect the oven from the
mains before carrying out any installation
work or servicing.
• Installation must be carried out by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and in compliance with local
regulations. • Unpack the oven and make sure that the
appliance has not been damaged during transport
and that the oven door closes properly. If you
are not sure contact the dealer or the
nearest service centre.
• After removing the oven from its packaging,
leave it on the polystyrene base to prevent it
from being damaged.
• When installing the oven it is advisable to wear
protective gloves.
• Do not lift the oven by the door handle. Get hold
of it using the side openings provided.

Preparing the housing unit

Built-under oven
• Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be
heat resistant (80 °C min).
• Cut the kitchen unit and worktop to fit before
installing the appliances. Carefully remove any
shavings or sawdust that could prevent the
appliances from running properly.
• The dimensions of the oven and unit are shown
in figures 1-2-3.
• To allow for proper ventilation, an opening
should be left at the bottom of the housing unit.
Pay attention to the dimensions in fig. 3.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 5 mm between
the upper edge of the oven and the lower edge
of the worktop (fig. 2) This clearance must
never be obstructed.
• When installing, make sure that the sides of the
oven do not touch the adjacent units.
• If the kitchen unit is not securely fixed to the wall,
it must be anchored with standard brackets (G)
available on the market, see fig. 3.
Cooktop
Attention: when installing the cooktop on a
surface made of material other than wood (marble,
plastic, ceramic, stone, etc.) remember to ask After
Sales Service for the fixing plates (fig. 6-8).
• The cooktop must be fitted in a worktop with a
minimum thickness of 20 mm and a maximum of
50 mm. • There must be nothing between the cooktop and
the oven (e.g. cross rails, insulating material, etc.).
• An adjacent column unit must be installed at least
100 mm from the edge of the cooktop (fig. 4).
• Cut an opening in the worktop of the dimensions
shown on the Product Description Sheet
provided with the worktop.
• We recommend you seal the internal edges of
the worktop with wood glue or silicone.
• If not already in place, apply the supplied seal to
the cooktop, after cleaning the adhesive surface
thoroughly.
Conventional electric cooktop
Important: Remove any protective film before
installing the cooktop.
• If the worktop is made of wood, use the
spring clips and screws provided.
1. Insert the 4 spring clips (B) (fig. 5) in their guides
on the bottom of the cooktop.
2. Fit the cooktop into the worktop.
• If the worktop is made of marble or other
material (plastic, ceramics, stone, etc.), the
cooktop must be secured with special brackets
(C) (fig. 6), Code 4819 310 18528, (available as a
complete set from After Sales Service).
1. Fasten the brackets into the holes with the
screws provided.
2. Fit the cooktop into the worktop.
Glass-ceramic cooktop
Important: Remove any protective film before
installing the cooktop.
Make sure that that the opening in the worktop for
the cooktop is cut according to the dimensions
given in the drawing on the Product Description
Sheet. Pay attention to the tolerance range.
The cooktop should not be forced into the
worktop. Forcing the glass-ceramic top may cause
it to crack (even at a later date)!
