Oven Timer Operation  
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens can be  
used.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the  
timer control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only  
during the same automatic cooking programme.  
NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically  
because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause bacterial  
growth in food.  
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.  
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time  
so the food is ready when you require it.  
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.  
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as  
possible.  
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto  
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum.  
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could  
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.  
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.  
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay  
period.  
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial  
growth in food.  
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it  
is best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in  
water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.  
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the  
loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.  
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.  
14. Only reheat food once.

Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling  
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Hotpoint have developed a  
Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker  
because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5  
minutes pre-heat before food can be placed beneath them, but for normal grilling  
the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.  
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill  
for about 1 minute.  
NOTE: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you  
from touching live parts.  
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could damage the  
element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric shock.  
During use, the wire mesh may become soiled. DO NOT attempt to clean it while the  
grill is still on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be  
taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - do not store the grill pan handle on  
the food grid when the shelf is in the highest position.  
IMPORTANT:  
Grilling should never be undertaken with the grill/top oven door closed.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven  
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is  
designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is  
combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To  
ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are  
positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above. As a  
guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.100mm (4”) from the front of  
the shelf.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to  
increase or decrease cooking times.

DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR  
There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and  
the grill element.  
WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use as the  
surfaces get extremely hot.

Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100oC-MAX) using control (B)  
(see Top Oven Temperature Charts).  
The pilot light ( G ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven  
reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off  
and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct  
temperature.  
Step 4 Place the food on the shelf directly below the element ensuring the oven  
door is closed.  
NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (O)  
position.  
PLATE WARMING  
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn  
top oven temperature control (B) to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes.  
Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates.  
TOP OVEN UTENSILS  
Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than – 225mm x 300mm (9”x12”)  
DO NOT use the grill pan or main oven meat pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as the  
air circulation will be seriously restricted.

Main Oven - Fan Grilling  
Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating  
the hot air around the food.  
Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit  
but more economically as the door left closed.  
If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer.  
Follow the timer instructions before selecting fan grill and the required temperature.  
If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the timer is set to Manual.  
Operating Instruction  
1. Open the oven door.  
2. Select the correct shelf position, as stated in chart.  
3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill position.  
4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature (see Fan Grilling  
Roasting Chart, next page).  
5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements.  
6. Close the oven door.  
7. After use always return both controls to the off position.  
8. If the oven timer was used, reset to Manual.  
As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another  
economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even up to 4 small  
chickens.  
Temperatures  
These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the  
guide will give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But  
remember that because of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of  
roasting.  
General Recommendations  
Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over brownness  
and crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints, such as veal, which,  
because of its low fat content, is better cooked using conventional heating.  
1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended. (See Chart).  
2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be  
carried out with the oven door closed, this saves energy.  
The cooking temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.  
3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food roasting support rack over the pan  
supplied.  
4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.  
5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of meat  
(e.g.stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if you had  
cooked the food on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must be  
completely defrosted before it is cooked.  
6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it.  
For bigger joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given in  
the table and cook for a longer time per kg.  
7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn  
breast uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking  
stuffed poultry allow slightly longer cooking time.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
FAN ONLY SETTING  
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a  
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3  
hours per lb.).  
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.  
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-  
heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.  
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:  
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.  
(BD62 & BD52) - Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the FAN ONLY setting.  
(DQ47 & DE47X1) - Turn the Main Oven Control (C) clockwise to the  
setting.  
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend  
on type and size of the food.  
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.  
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream  
cakes, butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,  
pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.  
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where  
possible it is recommended that the food should be small and thin.  
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is  
exposed to the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even  
defrosting.  
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting  
up to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately  
after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after  
defrosting.  
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and  
hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.  
LIGHT ONLY SETTING  
(BD62 & BD52) - When the Multifunction Control (D) is turned clockwise to the  
LIGHT ONLY setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.  
(DQ47 & DE47X1) - When the Main Oven Control (C) is turned clockwise to the  
setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes  
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature  
than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods  
such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated  
oven.  
The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit  
personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease  
temperatures by 10˚C.  
Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any recipes  
not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25˚C and the time by  
about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to  
increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load.  
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-  
heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be  
reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of  
steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly  
normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.  
Oven Positions  
Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook  
satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:  
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390x300mm (15ins x  
12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should  
be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.  
–
–
–
Do not fit shelves upside down.  
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be restricted.  
Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.  
To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed  
from the oven.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes  
Temperature and Time  
The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra,  
contact Genuine Parts and Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further  
information.  
If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or  
parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a  
few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the  
oven, and the larger mass of food.  
Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.  
To prepare meat and poultry for Roasting in your Fan Oven  
(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has for been stored in  
a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking,  
and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the  
oven.  
(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking  
time.  
(c) Place meat/poultry in the main oven meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small  
1
2
joints weighing less than 1.75kg (3 / lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat  
pan/tin – or they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small joint or a large meat pan causes  
unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.  
(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry  
which can either be ‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking  
oil or melted fat.  
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a  
crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release  
excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly  
with oil, and rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.  
(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be juicy  
and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the  
manufacturer’s pack instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures  
given for conventional ovens by approximately 25˚C and the time by approximately  
10 minutes per hour.  
(g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat.  
(h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid  
should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling,  
steam and condensation.  
Frozen Meat and Poultry  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a  
domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g,1 lb), or at room temperature  
(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb).  
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.  
It is essential to wash thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after  
defrosting.

Main Oven - Circulaire Roasting (BD62 & BD52)  
CIRCULAIRE ROASTING  
Circulaire roasting - food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the oven fan  
to circulate the hot air around the food, making it suitable for thin foods, such  
as chops, steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry, as it will cook both  
sides at the same time. it is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the  
temperature in the oven is evenly distributed. Also, the oven heats up more  
quickly and generally will cook food at a lower temperature than a conventional  
oven, so pre-heating is not necessary for most foods. For a guide on “cooking  
times” and “cooking temperatures” see “Circulaire Roasting Chart”, next page.  
If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using the Oven Timer. Follow the  
timer instructions before selecting Fan Oven function and the required  
temperature.  
Note: It is also possible to cook food on the roasting rack on one shelf, while  
cooking different types of food at the same temperature, on other shelf  
positions (three shelves maximum).  
Operating Instructions:  
STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.  
Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require.  
Place the food centrally on the roasting rack.  
Position the roasting rack on top of the grill/meat pan.  
Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf.  
Ensure the oven door is fully closed.  
STEP 2. Turn the control knob (D) clockwise to the fan oven function.  
Turn the control knob (C) clockwise and select the required cooking  
temperature. The pilot light (G) will immediately come on and will remain  
on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then  
automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat  
maintains the correct temperature.  
STEP 3. After use, turn controls (C) and (D) to the Off (O) position.  
Note: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the  
door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal  
characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
‘S’ SLOW COOK SETTING  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.  
Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.  
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven  
lining and the plates which are being warmed.  
ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:  
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.  
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.  
Fully loading the oven can be economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.  
OPERATION:  
(for models BD62 & BD52):  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning the Main Oven Temperature  
Control (C) and Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to Fan Oven mode.  
(for models DQ47 & DE47X1):  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning Main Oven Temperature Control (C).  
STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:  
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as  
soon as possible.  
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING  
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air  
to circulate.  
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they  
are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.  
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).  
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the  
slow setting.  
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170˚C for 30 minutes before  
wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before  
turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.  
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a  
meat thermometer before serving.  
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing  
frozen food in the oven to cook.  
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.  
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with  
foil to prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.  
10.Always adjust seasoning before serving.  
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled  
for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.  
12.When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid  
overcooking.

Main Oven Grilling (BD62 & BD52)  
DO NOT allow young children near the appliance when the grill is in use as the  
surfaces can get extremely hot.  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.  
- Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium foil.  
- Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after every use. Excess fat build-up in the  
bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard.  
- Preheat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes  
Grilling Procedure:  
1. Open the main oven door fully and position the rod shelf as recommended in the  
grilling chart (see below) for the food being cooked.  
2. Turn the multifunction selector switch to HALF grill or FULL grill and then turn  
the Main Oven temperature control to the required setting to pre-heat for  
approximately 5 minutes.  
3. Position the grill pan centrally under the grill element and push back as far as the  
location stops on the rod shelf.  
4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting MAX for toast and for fast cooking of  
foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking turn the thermostat to a lower  
setting, after initial sealing on both sides at MAX. The thicker the food, the lower  
the thermostat should be set.  
If excessive smoke is emitted, reduce the setting.  
5. After use always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Care and Cleaning  
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off  
and the appliance is fully cold.  
1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS (Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and Rear Panel)  
(a) How "Stayclean" works.  
TOP OVEN SIDES  
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main Oven  
rear panel) are treated with a special vitreous enamel  
which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C  
(425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils  
to be slowly destroyed.  
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.  
(b) Cleaning.  
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220˚C  
(425˚F) will permit this cleaning operation to proceed  
during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures  
are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to  
prevent heavy soiling, to run the ovens without shelves or  
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours  
(Fan Oven mode only).  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is  
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy  
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.  
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage  
the “Stayclean” oven liners.  
MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANEL  
2. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN  
(a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven.  
Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more  
stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well  
soaped fine steel wool soap pad.  
(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.  
To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan,  
food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately  
GRILL  
after use in warm soapy water.

Installation  
Electrical Requirements  
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a  
competent person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National  
Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be  
installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.  
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.  
Electrical Connections  
The installer must check that the voltage shown on the rating plate  
corresponds with the house electricity supply.  
The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a  
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible  
position adjacent to the cooker.  
If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind  
the cooker providing the following requirements are met:  
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.  
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.  
Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable  
through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.  
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.  
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.  
Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit.  
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and  
Television reception interference.  
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used  
to feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable.  
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole  
control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated  
cables.  
We recommend a minimum of 4mm2 PVC insulated twin and earth cable  
conforming to B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.  
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 4).  
This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates  
heat such as a plinth heater  
Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied with  
this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable.

Installation  
Important  
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated  
i.e. having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which  
could permit access to the oven unit when installed.  
1. General  
The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which  
must be secured to the backing wall.  
2. Ventilation  
a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.  
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or  
bottom cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).  
c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation,  
i.e. from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of  
the cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by  
providing a slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.  
d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet  
space. Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling  
height, it is essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of  
the cabinet (see fig. 1).  
e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from  
the oven when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the  
adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface  
should be made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean.  
Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.  
3. Final Installation  
a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side  
and from front to back in its installed position.  
b. Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.  
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.  
c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing  
wall for stability.  
d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet  
and pushed fully home.  
e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Phillips C/SK  
Head screws - two through each side trim.  
f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.

4 x Phillips C/SK Head No. 6 x 25mm screws.
